What is the We Decide Voter Guide?The We Decide Voter Guide is a comprehensive, pro-choice guide featuring endorsements and recommendations at every level of government. The guide shows Vote Pro-Choice candidates and additional endorsements from dozens of progressive organizations so that every pro-choice voter has what they need to cast a ballot in line with their values.
-
How does Vote Pro-Choice decide who to endorse?Since 2016, Vote Pro-Choice has evaluated and endorsed thousands of pro-choice champions who pledge a deep commitment to lead on the issue of reproductive freedom. The Vote Pro-Choice team thoughtfully considers every candidate through an in-depth process involving application, committee review, and contextual research. To qualify for a Vote Pro-Choice endorsement, a candidate must not only support accessible and destigmatized abortion care, but they must also be a champion for policies that empower families to thrive in safe, sustainable communities. This includes, but is not limited to, supporting accessible housing, reducing gun violence, advocating for paid leave and childcare resources, and improving access to healthcare.
-
Who is paying for this voter guide?This Voter Guide is paid for by VOTEPROCHOICE Action Fund, voteprochoice.us, and is not authorized by any federal candidate or candidate’s committee.
-
Where can I learn more about the organizations listed and their endorsements?We’re proud to include the endorsements of other pro-choice organizations working to get changemakers elected. Every organization has a different endorsement process with different endorsement criteria. Please visit their website and learn more!
-
Some candidates are endorsed, and some are recommended. What’s the difference?Vote Pro-Choice endorsements are different from recommendations. Candidates across the country are able to apply for a Vote Pro-Choice endorsement, with priority given to those running in Vote Pro-Choice focus states. In 2024, those states are Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Vote Pro-Choice endorsements are reserved for those candidates who are true champions of reproductive freedom and who lead effectively on this issue. In addition, in those Vote Pro-Choice priority states, if a race does not feature an endorsed candidate, Vote Pro-Choice works to recommend the best pro-choice candidate running. Every elected official -- from school board to the state legislatures -- affects access to reproductive freedom. Contact us directly at go@voteprochoice.us to recommend a pro-choice candidate in your area.
-
Why is there a race without any Vote Pro-Choice recommendation?There are several reasons why there may not be a recommendation for a specific race: Outside of our focus states, we do our best to consider other races across the country, but limited bandwidth means that we’re unable to make a recommendation in every race. In 2024, Vote Pro-Choice priority states are Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. It is possible that we haven’t been able to find enough information to make an informed recommendation. In some cases, none of the candidates are pro-choice, so we cannot provide a Vote Pro-Choice recommendation.

I know a candidate is pro-choice. Why isn’t there a checkmark next to their name?Outside of our focus states, we do our best to consider other races across the country, but limited bandwidth means that we’re unable to make a recommendation in every race. To suggest a pro-choice recommendation, please email go@voteprochoice.us. It’s also possible that more than one candidate in a race has a pro-choice position. In those situations, we recommend the candidate most reflective of our criteria. In some cases, our research team can’t find enough information to make a recommendation. In that case, we greatly appreciate suggestions from the public. Submit your comments to go@voteprochoice.us
-
Why do some organizations endorse a candidate while others don’t?Every organization has different priorities, capacities, and criteria for endorsing candidates. Some groups focus on supporting a specific office (like the state legislature), while others focus on supporting specific candidates (like women, LGBTQ+ people, candidates under 40, etc.). That’s why we’re proud to include endorsements from different organizations to keep voters informed and empowered to vote for their values!
