Our endorsements reflect the thoughtful selections of the PAC Review Committee. Each candidate was chosen not along party lines or individual preference, but based on their campaign strength, electability, alignment with Suffolk AME values, and support for the needs of our brothers and sisters.
We encourage our Suffolk AME brothers and sisters to vote for these endorsed candidates who demonstrate commitment to our membership’s interests, and to raise awareness for these candidates with their friends and family. As both residents and municipal workers in Suffolk County, the legislation passed by our local officials impacts us at work and at home. Selecting candidates for endorsement is a responsibility we approach with utmost seriousness.
We extend our gratitude to the PAC Review Committee and our dedicated staff for organizing candidate screenings and finalizing these endorsements.
