Announcing COJAA’s 2026 Primary Endorsements

We are excited to announce Colorado Jewish Action Alliance’s slate of endorsed candidates for the 2026 election cycle.

These endorsements reflect months of thoughtful conversations, candidate interviews, questionnaire reviews, and careful deliberation by our Board and leadership team. We prioritized leaders who understand the importance of standing with Colorado’s Jewish community, confronting antisemitism in all its forms, and engaging seriously and thoughtfully with the issues impacting our community.

Our slate of endorsed candidates understand that leadership requires moral clarity. At a time when antisemitism and political extremism are becoming increasingly normalized, these candidates all demonstrated a willingness to speak out, engage thoughtfully, and stand in genuine partnership with Colorado’s Jewish community.

This primary election cycle, we are proud to endorse:

• Terri Carver (R), SD9

We founded Colorado Jewish Action Alliance because we believe the Jewish community must build civic and electoral power, engage directly in public life, and ensure our voices are represented to protect our safety and security. That work is more important than ever.

Over the coming months, we will be investing heavily in voter outreach, education, communications, and direct engagement to help elect leaders who will stand with our community and help build a future without hate.

You can help by following us on social media, sharing our endorsed candidates with your friends and family, and amplifying this work in your own networks. Elections are won by people willing to show up, organize, volunteer, and engage.

If you are interested in getting involved in one of these races as a volunteer, we would love to hear from you. Reach out to us anytime at info@cojaa.org.

Together, we are turning awareness into action and building a future without hate.
