On March 25th, 2010, the Cary, Raleigh, and Wake County
chapters conducted candidate interviews for the May 4th
primary. Candidates seeking the PBA endorsement for several NC House
seats and a District Count seat met with a screening committee to
discuss issues of vital importance to the PBA and law enforcement.
Based on the screening committee’s recommendations and a vote of the
three chapter boards the PBA chose to endorse the following candidates.
Kris Bailey-District Court Judge, Rep.Darren Jackson-District 39, Tom
Murry-District 41, and Rep. Rosa Gill-District 33. On May 4, 2009, Kris
Bailey was the leading vote getter in his race and will continue to the
general election against the 2nd place finisher. Rep.
Darren Jackson, Rep. Rosa Gill and Tom Murry won their respective
primary races and will continue to the general election. Tom Murry and
Rep. Darren Jackson displayed the PBA endorsement in their campaigns.
Rep. Jackson chose to use the PBA logo and a quote that was featured in
various mailings that his campaign did to voters in his district. He
also used a PBA quote in a local newspaper ad. |
