The
North Carolina Police Benevolent
Association proudly offered their
endorsement of Wake County Clerk of
Superior Court Candidate Lorrin Freeman
during the 2006 election season.
On August 3, 2006, Lorrin Freeman met
with screening committee members of both
the Raleigh-Wake and Cary Chapters of
the NCPBA. She was asked a series of
questions relating to recommendations
for magistrate appointments,
accountability for records control, and
search warrant storage system controls.
She also was asked about procedural due
process for employees of the Clerk’s
office. Based on her answers, the
screening committee recommended the
endorsement of Lorrin Freeman in this
race. The Raleigh-Wake and Cary Chapter
boards then voted to endorse her
candicacy.
According to Cary Chapter President
Randy Byrd, “We are proud to endorse
Lorrin Freeman as the next Clerk of
Court for Wake County. Her career of
serving the public and her innovative
approach to tough issues make her the
logical choice to bring a positive
change to the Clerk’s office. A vote for
Lorrin is a vote for the men and women
of law enforcement.”
Lorrin Freeman upon receiving the
endorsement had the following comments,
“I am excited and proud to be endorsed
by the Police Benevolent Association,
the leading voice for law enforcement.
As a former prosecutor and as an
Assistant Attorney General, I have
worked with law enforcement on a daily
basis. The PBA and I share the common
values of improving work conditions for
law enforcement and strengthening the
criminal justice system. As Clerk of
Court, I am committed to making the
court system efficient so our officers
can spend more time in the community
keeping us safe.”
After offering the endorsement Cary
Chapter members began working diligently
to assist Lorrin with her campaign. On
September 24th, she was invited and
attended the Cary Chapter picnic at Bond
Park. At this event, she was able to
meet many members. On October 10th,
members attended a meet and greet event
that was held for Lorrin in Cary at the
home of Rep. Jennifer Weiss. Rep. Weiss
was also endorsed by the North Carolina
PBA. On October 25th, members attended a
fundraising event in Raleigh at the home
of Billy Brewer. During the event,
Lorrin was presented a campaign
contribution on behalf of the North
Carolina PBA. Cary Chapter members
continued to spread the word with
friends and family. Lorrin also proudly
displayed the PBA endorsement in various
forms to include newspaper, television,
and direct mail advertising. On November
7th, 2006, Lorrin was able to beat a two
term incumbent by a considerable margin.
Since the election, Lorrin has continued
to meet with members to seek input on a
variety of issues. The PBA is looking
forward to the positive changes that
Lorrin will bring to the Wake County
Clerk’s office. She is a true friend of
the PBA and law enforcement.
