Welcome to the INDY‘s 2022 primary endorsements!

Here you’ll find our recommendations in 29 races covering the US House and Senate, the state legislature, sheriffs, judges, district attorneys, town council and county board of commissioners candidates, and more. It’s a lot, and for some of these races, we couldn’t pick just one candidate—so we endorsed two.

Browse the links below to learn more about the candidates and our choices. We’ve also included a printable voting guide to take with you to the polls (click here to download). Early voting starts April 28 and Election Day is May 17. Be sure to cast your ballot and make your voice heard.
