          Sure. You can do it a couple of different ways.



          As here, you can use a literal list, but you wouldn't include a : for Apex binding:



          SELECT Id, Email FROM Contact WHERE LastName IN ('Johnson', 'Jones') LIMIT 10


          Alternately, you can accumulate a List<String> or Set<String> (since this is a text field) and use Apex binding to reference it:



          List<String> lastNames = new List<String>{'Johnson', 'Jones'};
          

          
List<Contact> contacts = [SELECT Id, Email FROM Contact WHERE LastName IN :lastNames LIMIT 10];
