Candidate Review Process

Interview Request

The interview request period has closed
for the 2026 Primary

The interview request period has closed for the 2026 Primary

Any requests submitted after Dec 31, 2025 will not be considered.

NOTE:

  • We do not automatically endorse incumbent Republicans in either a Primary or General Election race.  There is no “friendly incumbent rule” at Grassroots America.
  • We do not endorse Republican candidates just because they’re running for office.
  • We do not endorse candidates just because everybody else is doing so.  We are not a “me too” organization.
Once your form is received, we will email a date/time for an hour-long (minimum) Zoom interview.  Please be patient! You will not be scheduled the very next day! We usually interview more than 100 candidates for the Primary. Scheduling takes time.

Surrogates are not accepted; campaign advisors may not assist in the interview.

We interview candidates on a wide array of issues.  It is the responsibility of the candidate to be prepared.   We do not send out questions in advance.

We also do not send out questionnaires. Consultants and campaign managers often answer the questionnaires.

Once again — The only candidates eligible for an endorsement are those who contact us for an interview via the form provided on this website.  We do not chase down candidates!

Supporters of candidates:  If your candidate does not meet our deadline, that is the candidate’s fault.  If you care about it, nudge your candidate, but do not send me a nastygram if your candidate fails to meet the deadline. Nastygrams just make you look bad and they don’t bother me one little bit.
**Republican General Election candidates who have NO Primary opponent  must request an interview by filling out the online form. The absolute deadline to request an interview for the November 2026 General Election is March 15, 2026 – no exceptions.  We will not interview General Election Candidates until AFTER the Primary Candidate interviews have been completed.

Exception: 2026 Republican Primary and Primary Runoff winners endorsed by Grassroots America will be endorsed for the General Election unless they display a breach of ethics.
