Endorsement Process

Co-govern with OneAmerica Votes

OneAmerica Votes is a 501(c)(4) organization that seeks to elect pro-immigrant candidates, particularly those who are directly impacted. We make endorsements with the goal of increasing the power and voice of immigrant and refugee communities in government. We highly encourage BIPOC women and LGBTQIA+ candidates to apply for our endorsement but make endorsements of immigrant rights allies who do not identify as immigrants, women, BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ as well.

To be endorsed by OneAmerica Votes, candidates must demonstrate their commitment to work alongside us and deliver on the issues most important to our communities.

Our endorsement process is led by grassroots leaders from immigrant and refugee communities across Washington State. They interview candidates regarding issues important to their communities, evaluate the candidate responses and make recommendations to the OneAmerica Votes Board of Directors for review and affirmation.

Note: The endorsement process for 2026 has closed.
