2020 General Election Endorsements
How Does a CPC Endorsement Happen?
A Commonwealth Policy Center endorsement is a promise. It is a promise to every voter that a candidate, if elected, will uphold four pillar societal values: the sanctity of life, marriage between one man and one woman, religious freedom, and fiscal responsibility. These endorsements come after a candidate signs our agreement in principal and addendum questionnaire, is interviewed by our panel of conservative experts, and after hours of extensive research into the candidate’s positions. The process is rigorous, but the result is a slate of exemplary candidates that will champion the conservative ideals of the Commonwealth.
STATE SUPREME COURT
One of the Commonwealth’s most important races in this year’s election is the race for Kentucky’s 7th District Supreme Court Justice seat. Commonwealth Policy Center is throwing its full support behind Judge Robert Conley. We have an opportunity to send another conservative judge to our state’s highest court and after 25 years as a judge, Judge Conley is the best suited for the job. He is running against liberal Rep. Chris Harris for the seat, which makes this race critical to the preservation of our Commonwealth’s values. So please, District 7, get out and vote, and vote Judge Robert Conley. Check out our interviews with Judge Conley below.
