Only 14 weeks until ballots arrive

The Los Angeles, California Progressive Voter Guide for the 2026 Primary Election by LA Forward will be available in early May 2026.

Current endorsements are available here.

The first thing LA Forward did after we were founded in 2016 was create a voter guide. Since then, we’ve published an extensive voter guide every major election.

In 2024, more than a quarter million people viewed our voter guide in October and November alone. With an in-depth 37,000 word guide, we highlighted a total of 129 candidates and measures — including races in dozens of cities across LA County that are not covered anywhere else with write-ups.

No other guide for LA County is as broad or as comprehensive as ours. We will continue expanding the scope and reach of this valuable resource in 2026.

In addition to influencing how people vote — which is especially powerful in races decided by only a few hundred votes — our guide also educates people on how local government and politics work in a way that a list of endorsements can't do.

Help make an impact this election. We’d be grateful for a donation of any amount to help us hire the team needed to do the research and writing of our voter guide.
