WASHINGTON, Oct. 14, 2026 /Standard Newswire/ — CatholicVote, America’s leading Catholic Advocacy organization, has released voter guides for seven states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The key message for Catholics: vote early.
“These midterms are crucial for the values Catholics hold dear: the sanctity of life and marriage, immigration and border security, keeping boys out of girls’ sports, the appointment of judges and justices on the state and federal levels, and religious liberty, all of which are being assaulted by the Democratic Socialists of America,” said CatholicVote President and CEO Kelsey Reinhardt. “Our voter guides explain the pros and cons of candidates in key races, and the consequences of important ballot initiatives, which are often deceptively worded.”
“If Catholics aren’t at the table, we are on the menu. Yet, too many Catholics sit out midterm elections,” she added. “We need faithful Catholics to show up at the polls in force now through November 3 or risk a return to the disastrous policies and downright anti-Catholic bigotry of the Biden administration, which will resurface with a vengeance if we lose our already slim majorities in the House and Senate. If Christians do not take up their duty in political life, we will be governed by those whose values are antithetical to our own.”
CatholicVote.org serves as a central hub for state-specific information on candidates and issues as well as links to help Catholics register to vote, request an absentee ballot, and find a polling place to vote in person prior to and on November 3.
“We have chosen seven states—a total of 24 races or ballot initiatives—where we know the Catholic turnout can be the make or break difference. Encouraging Catholics to vote early is one of our top priorities,” said CatholicVote Director of Political Operations Logan Church. “Republicans tend to vote only on election day. That habit has to change. Voting early ensures your vote is counted because nothing keeps you away from the ballot box on election day. And there’s a personal benefit: candidates don’t waste resources courting people who have already voted. Voting early can reduce the number of robo calls and other messages clogging voters’ answering machines, inboxes, and mailboxes. Conserving those resources results in a net gain for candidates who represent Catholic values.”
Now in its 21st year, CatholicVote is leading the fight for faith, family, and freedom. Its recently launched culture-changing project, Zeale.co, was created around the premise that faith should not be isolated from the rest of life. It offers programming that reaches far beyond traditional religious media, exploring sports, work, food, travel, art, family, history, local communities and American culture alongside Catholic news and spiritual content.
