Friend --

Congratulations to the entire slate of People's Alliance PAC candidates. These candidates ran campaigns to be proud of, focused on a progressive vision for what our city, state and nation can and should be.

The candidates that your PA PAC endorsed at a six-hour long endorsement meeting earlier this year all won in Durham County on Tuesday. Our school board candidates will take on the work of directing Durham's schools. Congratulations to Natalie Beyer, Bettina Umstead, Emily Chavez, Millicent Rogers and Matt Sears.

PA PAC's endorsed candidates for US Senate, District Court Judge, District Attorney, Clerk of Court, and Sheriff all won their primaries and will appear on the ballot in November. Congratulations to Cheri Beasley, Dave Hall, Kevin Jones, Satana Deberry, Aminah Thompson, and Clarence Birkhead.

While our candidate for Congress, Nida Allam, did not win across Congressional District 4, she carried Durham County. She ran an incredible campaign knocking doors, talking about issues that matter from abortion to climate change, and energized a number of people who don't often vote. She accomplished this despite being vastly outspent. We are grateful that she will continue to serve as a Durham County Commissioner.

Finally, your PA PAC wants to congratulate all of our members. Whether you supported this progressive slate of candidates with your vote, by donating money, volunteering at the polls to hand out green slates, putting out yard signs at polling locations (and picking them up!), delivering food to poll workers, or serving as a poll worker, PA PAC and our endorsed candidates could not have done it without you. From the bottom of our (still somewhat tired) hearts, thank you.

Thank you all and congratulations again.

Sincerely,

Your PA PAC Coordinators, Nana Asante Smith, Rann Bar-On, Yesenia Polanco, Milo Pyne, and Rochelle Sparko
