For Fresno City Council District 2, the chamber gave the nod to law professor Andreas Borgeas over college student and businessman Michael Karbassi.

In the race for Fresno County Supervisor District 5, the chamber endorsed Nathan Magsig, a businessman and Clovis City Council Member.

In the race for Fresno County Supervisor District 2, the chamber picked Brian Calhoun over incumbent Susan Anderson. "He is a fiscally responsible and a consistent advocate for integrated public safety," a cause of the chamber, the organization said in a news release. Calhoun, a Fresno City Council Member, is facing Anderson and Certified Public Accountant Paul Dictos in the race.
