Election 2024: EMPAC’s Endorsements and the Power of Nonpartisanship

Election season is in full swing! This week, we are joined by Mark Dearmon, the state chairman of SEANC's EMPAC Political Action Committee, to discuss our endorsements in Council of State and legislative races.

We discuss EMPAC's endorsement process, emphasizing the organization's commitment to nonpartisanship and member-led decision-making. Learn about the rigorous interview process and the importance of building relationships with candidates who support state employees, retirees, and working families.

We also discuss key endorsements for the governor's race, state treasurer, lieutenant governor, and other vital positions. Discover why EMPAC endorsed candidates like Josh Stein for Governor, Wesley Harris for State Treasurer, and Rachel Hunt for Lieutenant Governor. 

Stay tuned for insights into the legislative races, the significance of nonpartisan pledges, and the impact of our unique approach to political endorsements.
