Below you will find the current list of candidates with all of their approved endorsements for the SGA 2026 Elections. This list includes endorsements approved through 9:30am on March 31st. We will continue to make endorsement updates as they are approved by the Election Board Chair. 
Please note there are three kinds of possible endorsements:

• Individual endorsements by an officer of a student organization;
• Student organization executive board endorsements (meaning, at a minimum, the president, vice president, and treasurer of the student org endorse the candidate);
• Student organization endorsements (meaning at least the majority of the student org membership endorses the candidate).

As a result, you'll see different types of endorsements under the names of candidates. Some endorsements supersede others. If, for example, a student org officer endorsed a candidate and that entire student org/their executive board also endorsed the candidate, you will not see a separate line for the individual officer as they are implicitly included within a full org/eBoard endorsement.
Want to submit an endorsement? You can do so at this link. You must be an officer of a recognized UMBC student organization to be eligible to submit an endorsement.
