MANUPAC, the Manufacturers Association of Central New York’s Federal Political Action Committee today announced their bipartisan list of federal candidate endorsements for the 2026 General Election. MANUPAC board members looked to endorse pro-manufacturing candidates from districts within New York State, focusing their attention on key issues, including tax reform, energy availability and production, trade issues, and workforce development.

“We reviewed the voting records of individuals to determine pro-manufacturing candidates and those who are understanding and ready to work on manufacturing issues,” said MANUPAC Board Chair Pat Morocco. “Though we may not agree with candidates on every issue, we understand that it is critical for candidates to support pro-manufacturing policies and maintain open communication with us. The manufacturing industry remains focused on critical issues as we move forward with the support of candidates who we think will best serve our sector’s interests. We look forward to working with all members elected to office this November.”

Based on ongoing meetings and interactions with candidates, MANUPAC is endorsing and weighing in on the following federal races:
