The People's Alliance PAC invited all candidates who filed to run for office in Durham County (except those running for Town of Cary offices) to participate in our endorsement process. We have also invited two candidates seeking to run for Sheriff without a party affiliation by collecting a sufficient number of signatures in advance of the General Election in November.
The endorsement process includes completing a questionnaire and participating in an interview with a committee of People's Alliance members. All candidates for each office are listed below, along with any responses they made to the People's Alliance PAC's invitation to participate in the endorsement process.
Non-partisan offices that will have final results on May 17 appear first, followed by County offices, District offices, Statewide offices, and finally Federal offices. Not all races listed will be on the ballot during the primary election on May 17. Find your sample ballot here.
