UPDATE: ✔️ means the endorsed candidate won.
Humane PA presents our 2022 endorsements for Pennsylvania state offices in the upcoming election on November 8th. This was an especially challenging year. There were no priority animal votes to score this session. Therefore we considered past legislative scorecards, our endorsement survey and electoral viability. We were encouraged to note that this year, many of the new challengers who are running for office have a strong commitment to the humane treatment of animals. We always give priority to our humane leaders and supporter incumbents who deserve our support for leading the fight against animal cruelty for years. We had some very tough choices! If there is no endorsement listed in your district – we encourage you to contact your candidates to discuss their commitment to anti-cruelty legislation. If your candidate is endorsed – please congratulate them and of course vote for them!

Methodology:
Criteria: Voting record, incumbency, history of leadership, improved record, survey results, viability. For more details about Humane PA’s methodology – check: Announcing Humane PA’s 2022 Endorsements.
Endorsement: Candidate has either a strong voting record, co-sponsored priority bills, history of leadership and/or strong survey and commitment to the humane treatment of animals. Priority is always given to incumbents.
No Endorsement: Either a negative survey or past negative voting record on anti-cruelty bills or Humane PA has determined not to endorse in this race because either lack of information, survey, record or there is little chance of success for the candidate. (For further information on non-endorsed races – please feel free to send a question to the Humane PA Facebook page inbox.)
