The recent election cycle saw major victories for candidates endorsed by Governing Group (GG), reaffirming the organization’s impact on political campaigns across a range of races, from local school boards to state legislative seats. With 22 out of 24 called races resulting in wins for GG-endorsed candidates, the effectiveness of the organization’s support is evident.
GG’s influence was felt in a variety of contests, including state senate and house districts, as well as significant school board positions. Notable winners included Amanda Bollinger (State School Board District 9), Mike McKell (Senate District 25), Karen Peterson (House District 13), and Steve Eliason (House District 43). These successes reflect GG’s dedication to promoting candidates who value civility, transparent governance, and a commitment to their communities.
“Governing Group provided me with essential resources that enabled me to run a focused, principled campaign,” said Anthony Loubet, who won his race for House District 27. “Their comprehensive support and mentorship allowed me to remain dedicated to a message of integrity and effective policy.”
Unlike traditional endorsements, GG offers a robust support system that extends beyond basic campaign advice or funding. From campaign training and strategic planning to providing networks of seasoned political professionals, GG empowers its candidates to run strong, policy-focused campaigns. This approach ensures candidates are well-equipped with consulting, management, and financial resources to engage voters meaningfully and maintain a high standard of discourse.
“Our goal at Governing Group is to uplift candidates who prioritize the values of good governance and respect for the political process,” said Becky Edwards, founder of GG and former legislator. “We’re proud to see our model succeed in fostering leaders who can serve with integrity and effectiveness.”
The wide range of races where GG-endorsed candidates succeeded demonstrates the versatility and strength of GG’s support model. These results reinforce the organization’s role as a key player in shaping races that prioritize solutions and respectful campaigns.
