Faithful to the mission

AFA Action, the governmental affairs affiliate of American Family Association (AFA), is gearing up for a busy 2026. With national elections on the horizon, legislative battles intensifying, and judicial influence shaping every arena of public life, the stakes are high – but so are the opportunities.

This is not a year to watch from the sidelines. It is a year to lead, inform, and stand with unwavering clarity.

As always, AFA Action remains committed to its mission: to inform and mobilize voters and elected officials to align policy with biblical and constitutional principles. That work will expand across several strategic priorities in 2026, including voter education, legislative engagement, and judicial research.

Equipping voters for the 2026 midterms

With midterm elections approaching in all 50 states, AFA Action’s iVoterGuide (iVoterGuide.com) will once again serve as a trusted tool for citizens seeking truth beyond the headlines. Resources will include comprehensive evaluations of candidates’ positions, voting records, and worldview alignment – all of which will empower voters to make informed decisions on critical races at the local, state, and federal levels.

In 2026, iVoterGuide plans to cover 5,000 races, dedicating 54,000 research hours to evaluating 15,000 candidates nationwide. The iVoterGuide team is working hard to make it easier than ever to access personalized voting information. Whether deciding on a local school board member or a U.S. senator, voters deserve clear facts, which is precisely what iVoterGuide delivers.

Engaging in key legislative battles

At both the state and federal levels, 2026 will bring aggressive legislative agendas – some seeking to protect families, others aiming to redefine the meaning of family. AFA Action’s Center for Government Renewal (CGR) will continue providing analyses, briefings, and alerts on legislation that impacts parental rights, religious liberty, health care, education, and the sanctity of life.

CGR will also work behind the scenes with lawmakers, grassroots coalitions, and policy partners to advance legislation that reflects biblical truth and constitutional integrity, while opposing efforts that erode freedom or moral clarity.

Whether fighting for age verification standards to protect children online or supporting conscience protections for health care providers, CGR will ensure voters and leaders alike are equipped with the facts.

Focusing on courts and judicial impact

Judges play a decisive role in shaping the future of every major cultural issue – from school choice to gender policy to free speech to religious liberty. That is why AFA Action’s Center for Judicial Renewal (CJR) will expand its work in 2026 to track, evaluate, and expose judicial nominees whose records reflect that they are legislating from the bench rather than determining the law’s original meaning.

CJR’s research will continue to highlight the importance of judicial restraint, promote the appointment of qualified judges who interpret the law rather than rewrite it, and provide resources that help Americans understand how federal courts impact their families, schools, and churches.

During an election cycle, voters often overlook the courts. AFA Action will work to keep courts at the forefront.

Equipping the public with truth

Beyond elections and legislation, AFA Action will continue speaking truth into culture. Through our weekly emails, media statements, op-eds, and social media campaigns, AFA Action will address key issues as they arise – from religious liberty battles to digital safety for minors, and everything in between.

In a world where language is redefined and truth is often ridiculed, plain speaking matters more than ever. AFA Action will continue to tell the truth plainly, boldly, and without apology.

Standing and building

This new year won’t just be another election year; it will set the stage for the second half of the Trump administration and give one party or the other momentum for the 2028 elections. AFA Action is committed to fighting for America’s families – with truth, courage, and faithfulness.
