Armed Forces Chamber Rolls Out New Progressive Endorsement Model for 2026 Nevada Elections

Las Vegas, Nevada – The Armed Forces Chamber Commander Andre’ Haynes proudly announced a new progressive endorsement model for the 2026 Nevada Elections. The Primary Election will be held on Tuesday, 9 June 2026 and the General Election will be held on Tuesday, 3 November 2026.

This effort will support candidates who demonstrate outstanding leadership, integrity, and service to the community and veterans. Endorsements from the Armed Forces Chamber will be issued by the Armed Forces Chamber Political Affairs Council, LLC. The Armed Forces Chamber reserves the right to issue no endorsement or abstain from select races.

The Armed Forces Chamber proudly offers registered candidates seeking public office—whether by appointment, election, or re-election—the opportunity to apply for an official endorsement. To be considered, applicants must submit a non-refundable $50 application fee to the Armed Forces Chamber. Please note that payment of the fee does not guarantee or imply endorsement. In addition to the fee, candidates are required to complete and submit a comprehensive questionnaire by the specified deadline.

The questionnaire consists of 52 questions across seven key categories: Military, Residency, Education, Family, Business, Community, Advocacy, and Campaign. These categories reflect the Armed Forces Chamber’s core values and are designed to assess a candidate’s experience, character, and preparedness for public service. While individual answers remain confidential, total scores will be made public on the official Armed Forces Chamber website.

Candidates can earn up to 72 points, with certain responses awarding points and others resulting in deductions. The grading scale is as follows: 72-62 points = A, 61-51 points = B, 50-40 points = C, 39-29 points = D, and 28-0 points = F. The candidate with the highest total score—along with the approval of the Board of Governors, including the Armed Forces Chamber Commander, Vice Commander, and Executive Officer—will receive the Chamber’s official endorsement. 

The Armed Forces Chamber reserves the right to abstain from endorsing any candidate in a particular race and to rescind an endorsement if it is determined that the candidate has been dishonest, omitted information, or acted deceitfully, or if the candidate becomes ineligible, withdraws from the race, or violates the endorsed candidate code of conduct. In such cases, the candidate pledges to return their endorsement plaque and reimburse the organizations for its cost.

Judicial candidates must complete the questionnaire by Friday, 30 January 2026, with scores announced on Friday, 6 February 2026 by 1700 Hrs. (5:00 p.m.). Non-judicial candidates must submit theirs by Friday, 27 March 2026, with scores announced on Friday, 3 April 2026 by 1700 Hrs. (5:00 p.m.).
