IMPORTANT
Candidate Endorsements Update
Below you will find the current list of candidates with all of their approved endorsements for the SGA 2026 Elections. This list includes endorsements received through 11:59pm on March 24th. 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.
