Orange County
The 2026 ballot is REALLY long! With confusing ballot measures and hundreds of candidates running for office, some might feel overwhelmed.
We have researched, vetted, and issued an endorsement on a large amount of statewide races to help make voting easy! These candidates are the best picks that will fight for: lower taxes and cost of living, safer communities and supporting law enforcement, fixing failing schools and stopping extremist curriculums, solving the homeless and drug crisis by addressing addiction and mental health, and enforcing the law and locking up criminals. These are candidates that will enact Plan Z: The Gen Z Agenda to fix California!
2026 is a prime opportunity for electing these common sense candidates — but we can't do that without your vote and your help. Make sure to share this voter guide with your friends and family. And please consider contributing to support our efforts to get the message out!

Governor: Steve Hilton OR Chad Bianco
Both Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco are strong candidates and would serve California well as Governor. That said, there is a real risk of a shutout if Republican voters divide their support, opening the door for two Democrats to move on to the runoff. While we are not endorsing either candidate at this time, we strongly encourage voters to look closely at the most recent polling in this race and rally behind the Republican who is leading and has the clearest path to advancing to the runoff.
