Every presidential election, members of the American Nurses Association take part in the process to support the candidate who will champion the issues that matter most to the nursing community.
By casting your vote and making your recommendation to ANA on who we should endorse for president, you are engaging in the political process and ANA’s policy, legislative and regulatory goals.
The American Nurses Association (ANA) has endorsed a candidate in each presidential election since 1984. For the 2016 election, ANA will continue to follow the 1985 House of Delegates (HOD) resolution directing the association to include presidential contenders of all parties in endorsement considerations.
ANA's presidential endorsements are made according to a very deliberate, nonpartisan process, and only after careful consideration of a variety of factors, including candidate positions and past records on nursing and health care issues, candidate viability in the election, the relationship the candidate has with ANA members and staff, and the feedback of individual ANA/CSNA members.
During every presidential election, members of ANA take part in the process to support the candidate who will champion the issues that matter most to the nursing community.
