DoorDash Inc. is committing $5 million to back political candidates in New York City and state-level races in New Jersey this year, becoming the latest technology company to disclose its lobbying efforts ahead of local elections in the tristate area.

The food delivery company has not endorsed specific candidates or coalitions, but a spokesperson said it’s planning to support “pro-local economy candidates” in New York’s mayoral and city council races, as well as state and gubernatorial races in New Jersey this year.
