HRC’s Bias in Political Endorsements

The table below catalogs every candidate endorsement issued by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and Human Rights Campaign PAC found in HRC’s online press release archive, covering 1,386 individual endorsements and 953 unique candidates from 2010 through August 27, 2026. 

Over 99% of HRC’s endorsed candidates are from one political party.

In total, the HRC endorsed 948 unique Democrats, 2 Republicans, 2 Nonpartisans, and 1 Independent. For companies and foundations that affiliate with or direct funding to the HRC under the banner of LGBTQ+ inclusion, this pattern bears directly on partisan alignment risk: HRC’s electoral arm functions, in practice, as a wing of one political party’s candidate infrastructure. Regardless of intent, partnering with an organization with progressive values may be viewed as partisan, especially if support is not balanced by comparable partnerships with organizations aligned with conservative or traditional values.
