Yesterday, more than 250 PA members--our friends, family and neighbors--voted to endorse progressive voices for the upcoming May 8 election and the election. We choose progressive voices to represent us in Washington and Raleigh, the school board and as Sheriff, District Attorney and Clerk of Superior Court.

The People's Alliance PAC endorsements are chosen by a democratic vote of our membership. Candidates also submitted People's Alliance PAC questionnaires and were interviewed by a committee of People's Alliance members. We choose the best candidates for the job--candidates whose values and work reflect the People’s Alliance vision and mission statement (English, En Español).
But it takes more than an endorsement. PA PAC-endorsed candidates win when PA members volunteer at the polls and donate to help us reach out to Durham voters.
