Chandler Candidates
The Chandler Chamber endorses candidates across local, state, and federal offices whose positions align with the business priorities of the East Valley. Explore endorsed candidates and learn about our three-part endorsement process.
Offices Endorsed by the Chandler Chamber
The Chamber evaluates candidates across five races. City Council candidates are endorsed ahead of the July 21 Primary. Candidates for all other offices are endorsed following the Primary once the field is set.
How the Endorsement Process Works
To receive an official endorsement from the Chandler Chamber, candidates must complete all relevant steps of a three-part evaluation process designed to assess their positions on issues important to Chandler's business community.
Candidates seeking endorsement receive a preliminary questionnaire designed to gather essential information about their campaign platform, background, and positions on key business and policy issues relevant to the East Valley.
Qualified candidates who have completed the questionnaire are invited to participate in a one-on-one endorsement interview with the Chamber CEO. This deeper conversation allows a thorough assessment of the candidate's alignment with Chamber priorities.
Candidates for City Council and the CUSD Governing Board who have completed both the questionnaire and interview are invited to participate in a public Candidate Forum — free to attend and open to the community.
