  • Initial Vetting: Candidates completed a comprehensive questionnaire starting in July to assess their alignment with CCUI’s values.
  • Interviews: For contested races, candidates who passed the initial vetting were invited for in-depth interviews.
  • Primary Continuity: Candidates previously endorsed during the primary process had their endorsements carried forward to the general election.
