About NASW-CA CalPACE
Candidate Endorsements are made by the CalPACE Committee and are based on the candidate’s commitment to the NASW Code of Ethics and official delegate assembly positions in Social Work Speaks. The CalPACE committee chooses candidates based on a candidate questionnaire, their score on our annual legislative scorecard, and their viability as a candidate. They also give special consideration to Social Workers running for elected office. Special consideration is given to candidates who are social workers.
The Director of Government Relations and Political Affairs works with the Chapter CalPACE committee to determine what state and local candidates we will endorse for election and what candidates will receive a financial contribution. The CalPACE committee is made up of volunteer NASW-CA members who apply for the role and are appointed by the Board President of NASW-CA.
Show your social work support! Please consider volunteering for your State Senate and State Assembly candidates before election day. Find your State Senate and/or State Assembly candidate, and click on their name to get involved in their campaign.
