2024 Primary Election Endorsements

All candidates were contacted and invited to take part in the endorsement process. Those who requested endorsement completed a survey, and the Endorsement Committee of the Voting Working Group reviewed candidates' responses to that survey, as well as their responses to the public-facing candidate questionnaire, statements at the Muncie Resists Primary Series forums, and other public statements or past decisions as lawmakers. That committee made its recommendations to the Muncie Resists membership, who voted on the recommendations.
