Philadelphia, PA, October 27, 2026 —
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Editorial Board has released its 2026 General Election Endorsement Guide, presenting the board’s recommendations for races in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The guide covers several types of contests, including governor, congressional districts and other state-level races. The summary of the guide does not identify the candidates endorsed or provide the specific recommendations for individual races.
The board describes its process as independent and says it researches candidates, conducts interviews and votes on endorsements. The guide is intended to inform voters, according to the summary provided. It does not specify how many candidates were interviewed, how the board conducts its research, or when its endorsement votes took place.
The summary also does not give a publication date beyond identifying the guide as covering the 2026 general election. It provides no details about election dates, candidate positions or the reasoning behind particular endorsements. Those details are not available in the information provided about the guide.
The release marks the board’s presentation of recommendations across multiple races, rather than a single contest. The available information describes the guide’s scope and the broad steps in the board’s process, but does not include the endorsement list itself or further explanation of how the recommendations were reached.
