PEF Board
votes to back candidates in ’02 races
The PEF Executive
Board has endorsed the political candidates reported here
for the November 11 General Election. In some districts,
no candidates were endorsed, as noted below.
The endorsements are based on interviews and reviews of
individual candidates’ voting records and
qualifications, followed by recommendations from
PEF’s regional and statewide Political Action
Committees.
The PEF board will review its endorsements following the
September 10 primaries and add or replace some
endorsements as necessary. Those changes will be reported
in the October issue of The Communicator.
Districts where major-party primary elections are
expected are indicated in boldface. However, the reviews
of petition challenges are not yet complete and could
change the status of some primaries.
Candidates whose names are printed entirely in UPPERCASE
are NOT incumbents.
Because the state was redistricted this year based on the
2000 Census data, some incumbents’ districts have
been renumbered.
