November 2026 Endorsements
Yellow background with orange speckles, with medium blue background below. In blue letters reads “November 2026”. Underneath is an orange box with white text that reads “Endorsed candidates” with a white check mark to the right. In the lower left corner are the Oregon Futures Lab and Color PAC logos.
This fall Oregon Futures Lab & Color PAC are excited to be endorsing 28 candidates, spanning 8 counties across the state of Oregon. OFL & Color PAC’s joint endorsement focus is values-aligned BIPOC candidates, and we endorse in hyper-local races below the state legislative level - everything from city auditor, to council and mayor, to county commission.
Our work prioritizes building the bench of BIPOC leaders who can run for office and move into governance. That's why we are so excited to see so many values-aligned leaders taking the opportunity to serve their communities through elected office.
Let's rally around our candidates running for local office this November!
