Additional note:
SFYR also endorsed an additional candidate not listed above, however, shortly after they received our endorsement they announced that they were leaving the GOP. As such, our Board has decided to not list them here. We have not rescinded such endorsement. We will assess based upon their campaign platform whether they are still in line with Republican values, and may list them at a later time.
