Each election cycle, Gun Owners of California compiles a scorecard for our members that indicates a candidate’s perspectives on the Second Amendment. Incumbent grades (A-F) are calculated on their recorded legislative votes, and non-incumbents (unelected candidates running for office) are determined based upon answers to our 2026 Election Questionnaire. Every effort has been made to communicate with each candidate; those who did not respond, received a DNR for “did not respond.”
It has been our consistent goal to work toward common sense solutions without sacrificing our Constitutional rights and the ability of the law abiding to protect their home and families. To that end, we believe in the value of an informed electorate and thus, are actively engaged in the political process.

Gun Owners of California continues to place a strong and strategic emphasis on the courts. We have become a noteworthy participant in almost every major gun-related case (in state and federal levels), and we have a terrific legal team who share our passion for the 2nd Amendment.
