| WASHINGTON—The National Organization for Women Political Action Committee (NOW PAC) is announcing its fourth round of federal endorsements for the 2026 election cycle, bringing the PAC’s total to a record-breaking 141 endorsed candidates, with additional endorsements expected in the weeks ahead. NOW PAC says this is the largest endorsement slate in the organization’s history since its founding in 1977, almost 50 years ago. This latest slate of candidates reflects NOW PAC’s continued commitment to electing leaders who will stand up for reproductive rights and justice, economic justice, ending violence against women, racial justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, and constitutional equality. “This record-breaking slate sends a clear message: the feminist movement is organized, energized and ready to win,” said NOW PAC Chair Kim Villanueva. “Our members will be working across the country to elect candidates who will defend our rights and turn feminist values into action.” NOW PAC works with NOW members and chapters across the country to identify candidates who take strong, uncompromising positions on feminist issues. With 141 candidates endorsed this cycle, NOW PAC is mobilizing its grassroots network to support candidates in races across the country and help elect a feminist majority in Congress.
