Pennsylvania NOW PAC Endorsements
Primary Election Day is Tuesday, May 17, 2011. The following recommendations by the state NOW Political Action Committee (PA NOW PAC) are presented here for your information. These endorsements are current as of April 26.
The Pennsylvania NOW PAC makes endorsements for statewide and local races. At the state level, there is one opening for Justice on the PA Superior Court and one openings for Justice on the PA Commonwealth Court. At the County level, all County Commissioners or County Executive (Allegheny County) plus all Row Offices are up for election. In addition, some counties have openings for the county-level Court of Common Pleas. At the local and district level, people are running for District Court Justice, Borough and City Councils, Township Supervisors, and Mayors.
The PA NOW PAC has two levels of approval for candidates. "Endorsement" is the highest level of endorsement and is given only to those candidates who support all of our issues and will take a leadership position on those issues if elected. "Support" is given to those candidates who are good on most of our issues but have a problem with one or two and we believe that these candidates are significantly better than their opposition. As of April 26, all listed candidates have received full endorsement.
