If there is one thing that CRG takes seriously it is its endorsement of candidates for local, state, and national office. We know that many people look to CRG for guidance and we strive to be honest stewards of that trust.

We endorse those candidates that best support our values and our goals. Regardless of party affiliation. We do not endorse in every race. Sometimes we do not feel comfortable endorsing any of the candidates; other times we simply do not have enough information to comfortably make a selection.

We endorse candidates in both primary and general elections. Often, this means that we endorse some candidates twice. But there are some instances when a candidate only has to win in either the primary or general election to be declared the victor.

We are pleased to announce our 2026 endorsements for political and judicial office:
