Our Endorsement Process

Telegraph for People considers endorsement for local candidates and measures that share our mission of supporting affordable, safe, green, and accessible streets, transit, and housing.

Endorsements are member-driven, requiring a supermajority of membership approval.

We host, co-host, or go to informational sessions and/or candidate forums as a club, offer space for discussion between both membership and leadership, and invite all club members to vote.

Contact us for further inquiries.
