2025 Candidate Endorsements

Early Voting Begins This Week — Let's Elect These Transit Champions!

Across the metro, public transit is an essential service, touching every aspect of daily life. Thanks to years of advocacy, the fast, frequent, and accessible  system we deserve is closer than ever — but we need champions at every level of government to continue that progress! 

That's why we're so excited to announce our 2025 municipal endorsements. Let's re-elect key allies and support new champions who understand how critical transit is to our communities and our climate.

See who made our list below—and learn how you can get involved!
