I want to share this with my fellow Progressives in Greensboro, NC, Jamestown and Guilford County….
Below is the list of endorsements from Replacements Pac for the October Primary elections.
These candidates are not just supportive of GLBT rights, but are good Progressive choices for City Council and Mayor.
I encourage you to consider supporting these candidates on the Primary Election on October 11th and during early voting starting September 22nd.
PLEASE VOTE!!!! It does matter. A lot…..
Unless you are a Republican, then I would suggest just spending the day at the Spa…..
The Candidates in Bold Red Print are the ones I know I will be personally voting for in my District or At-Large. You may vote for 3 At-Large City Council candidates and I have wish we had the chance to vote for 4 as I really like Marikay Abuzuaiter, too…
Please do NOT vote for Bill Knight for Mayor or Mary Rakestraw in District 4
