Endorsements

Picture
Want to run for office, but not sure where to start? Email us at [email protected] with your name and your home city/state, and we'll schedule a time for a one-on-one consultation with you. We're here to help!

Apply for Endorsement

If you're running for office yourself and wish to have the endorsement of the Yankee National Party, please click here and fill out this form. Submitting a completed application is a required part of the endorsement process and will be followed by an interview either in-person or via Zoom, depending on your proximity to current active Yankee National Party groups.

Nominate Someone Else

If you know of a candidate who embraces Yankee values, or if you know of someone with Yankee values who would make a great candidate, please click here to give us some information about that person. Your part in the nomination process will remain confidential, but we will use your suggestion to reach out to the person you have nominated to find out more about them and to see if they are interested in running for office as a Yankee.

About Our Endorsement Process

Our endorsement process has three steps: the successful completion of an Endorsement Application, the successful completion of an interview with our Endorsement Committee, and final endorsement vote by the Yankee National Party's National Committee or local State Central Committee.

Not sure if you should apply for our endorsement? Here's what you need to know as you make your decision:
  • You must generally align with our four core values of Independence, Democracy, Empathy, and Sustainability, and support a majority of our Platform.
  • Party membership is not required for endorsement to be given to a candidate. You may be a registered Republican, Democrat, Green, Libertarian, or an unaffiliated voter and still receive a Yankee National Party endorsement at this time.
  • We endorse candidates on a case-by-case basis, examining all their different beliefs and positions on the issues before making a decision. We respect your individual beliefs and encourage you to stay true to them, even if it ultimately means that we decide that the Yankee National Party's endorsement would not befit your candidacy.
  • Endorsements will be advertised on our website, and we will work with you to have the party label listed on the ballot, but you are not required to advertise our party in any way as part of your campaign efforts (though we encourage it)!
  • If endorsed, with your permission, we will work to raise money and attention to support your candidacy in a manner consistent with state and federal laws.
Note: candidates that were endorsed previously are not guaranteed endorsement in each subsequent race they may run. All candidates are required to apply for an endorsement and undergo the review process for each election in which they participate!
