2026 NC Primary Elections: Your Guide to Informed Voting
The Muslim American Public Affairs Council (MAPAC) proudly announces its endorsements for the 2026 Primaries.
Our board members and dedicated volunteers worked diligently to meet with candidates, host forums where possible, and carefully review available information.
Endorsement decisions were guided by the criteria outlined in MAPAC’s 2026 Endorsement Guide.
Endorsements were made only in races where the committee had sufficient information to make an informed decision and identified the candidate most likely to deliver the best outcomes for the public. In some cases, this meant choosing between two highly qualified candidates.
MAPAC remains steadfast in its commitment to engaging public officials in support of our community and the broader public good. For candidates who were not endorsed this cycle, we look forward to continued dialogue and potential future collaboration.
Join us in supporting our endorsed candidate for the upcoming primary elections. Your vote is crucial in shaping our community’s future.
