Your Vote Can Save Lives

Cancer Votes Logo

No matter who you voted for, Cancer Votes advocates have something in common. We made sure candidates heard from people who care about fighting cancer, and we went to the polls as informed voters. 

Together, Cancer Votes advocates made an impact: 

  • 195 candidates for U.S. Senate or U.S. House signed the Cancer Promise; 
  • Advocates hosted dozens of candidate coffee chats and showed up at dozens more candidate events; 
  • And our work earned nearly 3,000 mentions in the media.
