True Immigration-Reform Candidates for Congress, Governor & President

CLICK HERE to View Senate and House Results in Competitive Races

Each election on this page includes at least one congressional candidate who is making overall immigration reduction and improved immigration enforcement a major issue. Please e-mail us if you know of any other true reform candidates or have additional information on the races included here.

NAMES IN GREEN are candidates who have said they want to be known as running to reform immigration policies and who have provided survey responses backing up their claim.

NAMES IN PURPLE are candidates who completed the immigration survey, but did not qualify as immigration reform candidates.

NAMES WITH OUR SYMBOL preceding them indicate candidates whose survey responses best meet the criteria for being a "True Immigration-Reform Candidate" in races in which more than one candidate's name appears in green.

ABI NEVER ENDORSES CANDIDATES. Our highlighting of some candidates is to help citizens know who is most likely to work for reducing overall immigration so citizens can factor that information into their voting decisions. But we realize that voters mark their ballot based on many issues and judgments about the character and leadership of a candidate. We don’t presume to suggest the best candidate for your overall needs and interests. And, Americans for Better Immigration is strictly non-partisan, with no preference for one party or another.
