92 Candidates Endorsed by Armed Forces Chamber in Nevada’s 2026 Election Cycle

Las Vegas, Nevada — The Armed Forces Chamber proudly announces its official endorsements for the 2026 Nevada Primary and General Elections, recognizing 92 candidates across 92 races statewide.


Endorsements are issued by the Armed Forces Chamber Political Affairs Council, LLC, the organization’s official endorsement body. The Council supports qualified candidates who demonstrate a strong commitment to Veterans, Military Families, Public Safety, and Community Advancement through its formal endorsement initiative. By carefully evaluating candidates based on leadership, service, and dedication to strengthening communities, the Council seeks to highlight individuals who align with these core values. Official endorsements are intended to inform voters, elevate community-focused leadership, and encourage policies that positively impact those who serve, their families, and the broader public.


Since its founding, the Armed Forces Chamber has remained committed to supporting candidates who reflect these principles. The 2026 election cycle marks a historic milestone: for the first time since 2017, the Chamber has expanded its endorsement program throughout Southern Nevada, encompassing two counties and five cities.


Looking ahead, the Armed Forces Chamber has announced plans to further expand its reach. In the next Nevada election cycle in 2028—a Presidential Election year—the Chamber will conduct endorsements statewide across all participating counties, cities, and towns, reinforcing its growing role in Nevada’s civic and political landscape during one of the most consequential election cycles.
