Local and state LGBT groups have made their endorsements in this year’s midterm elections, to be held on Nov. 2.
This election season has been marked by extremely partisan rhetoric, negative ads and campaigning and a “Tea Party” insurgence as the nation continues to climb itself out of one of its worst economic recessions since the Great Depression.
The groups announcing their endorsements include Greensboro’s Replacements, Ltd. PAC, Charlotte’s Mecklenbug Gay & Lesbian Political Action Committee (MeckPAC) and the statewide Equality North Carolina. Each of the group’s endorsements are listed below.
