FAM Political Action

In order for Food AND Medicine to further our mission of ultimately living in a community where no one is forced to choose between food, medicine and other basic necessities, it's critical that we have elected officials who support that mission. We need legislators who believe in strong unions and worker rights, improved public transportation, access to healthy food, healthcare as a right, racial equity and a strong social safety net.

While we recognize that no candidate or legislator will ever be perfect, we sent a questionnaire, met with and/or carefully reviewed available information about candidates in a number of races, and have chosen to make the following endorsements in the upcoming election. Our capacity limits us to endorsing in only races where we feel that we can make a difference.

There are of course great candidates in other races and districts who also support our core values. We encourage everyone to consider these values in choosing for whom to vote. If we have not endorsed anyone in a specific race, you should not assume that a candidate does not align with our values, or take that as our non-endorsement. We encourage you to research candidates, but feel free to contact us with questions.

We encourage our members and supporters to vote for the candidates that we proudly endorse.
