IFA’s 2026 Primary Election Endorsements

Written by David E. Smith

We strongly encourage you to vote in the March 17th primary election. Before heading to the polls, take time to learn where candidates stand on the sanctity of human life, transgender ideology, parental rights, and the expansion of big government. Click HERE for the IFI Voter Guide. Early voting begins on February 5th.

The board of Illinois Family Action is pleased to endorse the following candidates in the 2026 primary election. These candidates emerged as those who will best support and uphold pro-family and pro-faith principles.

This primary election is pivotal to the future of pro-family policy in Illinois. We support these candidates because they have demonstrated—through their words and actions—a genuine commitment to pro-life, pro-family, and pro-liberty principles, or they have established a public voting record that clearly reflects those convictions.

We encourage you to contact their campaigns to support, volunteer, and, of course, vote for on or before March 17th. A link to each candidate’s social media page is included below.
