PBA Makes Endorsements for 2010 General Election

 
During this election season the PBA has interviewed numerous candidates in various races across the state. Chapter screening committees conducted interviews in Greenville, Cary, Huntersville, Winston-Salem, Hendersonville, Fayetteville, and Roanoke Rapids. Candidates seeking election for the US Senate, NC Court of Appeals and Supreme Court, NC House and Senate, Sheriff, District Attorney, District Court Judge, Clerk of Superior Court, and County Commissioner were interviewed. The candidate’s answers were evaluated and recommendations were made to either the chapter or state board who voted for endorsement. Members are encouraged to visit the NC State Board of Elections web site to pull up a sample ballot and match with the PBA endorsements for their area. Members are also encouraged to pass along our endorsements to family and friends. This year is a critical election where voters are upset and many will vote a straight ticket ballot or vote to put an incumbent out of office. Although it is every citizen’s right to vote as they please this type of voting can be very detrimental to the PBA process where candidates are endorsed in a bi-partisan manner with the best interests of officers in mind. Please keep this in mind as you vote and encourage your family and friends to vote for PBA candidates. A vote for PBA endorsed candidates is a vote for the men and women of law enforcement and the citizen's they serve.
