November 2026 SCCAOR Candidate & Ballot Proposition Endorsements
Election Day is exactly eight days away - Tuesday, November 3rd! SCCAOR interviewed Mayoral and City Council candidates across all six cities in our area: Santa Clara, San Jose, Campbell, Milpitas, Morgan Hill, and Gilroy. In the course of our interviews, we met with many candidates with diverse backgrounds and determined which candidates best aligned with REALTOR(R) priorities: homeownership and private property rights. In some races, SCCAOR made no endorsement. 

Additionally, C.A.R. has taken a position on several statewide ballot measures that will significantly impact the real estate profession and homeownership.
