candidates to support humane world action fund uses a variety of tools to assess both incumbents and challengers for candidates with a track record on animal protection issues we use the action fund humane scorecard and we assess their leadership on animal protection issues for challengers we ask them to fill out questionnaires or otherwise query the candidates on their positions we assess any existing record on animal issues through previous elective offices such as in a state legislature and we examine their chances for winning the seat we also rely on our supporters to inform us of individuals running for office who are supportive of animal issues does humane world action fund consider other social issues or any other issues when deciding to endorse or oppose a candidate no humane world action fund is completely non partisan and supports democrats republicans and independents based on a single criterion animal protection the action fund has a single focus and does not evaluate candidates based on the many other issues that come before legislative bodies if we were to consider other issues no matter how important it would be difficult to find a candidate to support the action fund believes that animal protection voters must be an identifiable voting bloc in order to gain greater respect and attention from candidates when we can influence the outcome of elections more candidates will embrace our agenda of more humane treatment of animals what does humane world action fund do when a candidate is excellent in some areas of animal protection but not in others sometimes we have to make a difficult decision such as endorsing a candidate who is a great friend of wild animals but not necessarily as helpful with companion animals or vice versa other times we may choose to support an elected official who is the chairman of an important committee who could take the lead on passing important pro animal bills even if the official does not support our entire agenda in short we don t require 100 orthodoxy to our issues we take into consideration the candidate s district how the candidate compares to his or her opponent in a race and other information an endorsement is always a judgment between candidates who are running for the same seat how can i learn how my elected officials voted on animal protection issues you can view the most recent humane scorecard where do i find financial information about the humane world action fund you can view our irs form 990 on our website do you have a question that is not answered here please email us at
