NAACP WILKES-BARRE BRANCH #2306 POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE SAYS TAKE A LOOK BEFORE YOU VOTE FOR CANDIDATES RUNNING IN THE STATE REPRESENTATIVE RACES

As important as it is for us to take an interest in our politicians and to vote, it is as important for us to see that our politicians are taking an interest in us; not just as voters, but as people, but as human beings, but as a community with needs that go far beyond unfulfilled campaign promises.

To Support our goal of discovering which politicians are invested in our communities, we have reached out to the Candidates for District Rep and have sent them questions. We not only consider their answers, but we also consider whether they bothered to respond to us. We hope you consider the same.

Please keep in mind this is for the Primary Election today, after this vote multiple candidates will be eliminated. The General Election will take the top performers in the Primary and we will then vote again to determine the winners of the General Election, who will be sworn into those positions.
