Our endorsements are based upon an overall analysis of many factors, including (1) feedback from community members, (2) track record on minority issues, (3)  qualifying record and/or history of candidate, and (4) community outreach efforts. We gather information on their positions from the internet, candidate websites, public debates and sometimes from the candidates directly. Unfortunately, we cannot evaluate candidates in every election, but rather select contests of importance to the AMVOTE community. Requests for endorsements emanate from the candidates themselves, as well as members of the AMVOTE Advisory Board, and our friends and supporters from the Arab and Muslim American Community.
