CANDIDATE
ENDORSEMENTS:
Note: “endorsement” of a candidate means we are
happy with all the candidate’s positions on NOW’s issues and most of the rest
of the issues as well.
“Recommendation” means we are
happy with most of the candidate’s answers re NOW’s issues, but not all. Call any board member for more info.
SHERIFF
Judy
Levy NOW PAC is pleased to announce its endorsement of Bill Davis for
Sheriff. Not only is he eminently
qualified for the Sheriff’s office, but he is also great on NOW’s issues.
Two
candidates take a different view on waiting periods before an abortion for a
special reason: they fear an
impregnator might force an abortion on a woman who does not want it. While we feel that the inaccessibility of
abortion clinics greatly overwhelms the possibility of a forced abortion, we
recognize the point of view as potentially a valid one. Therefore we conditionally endorse Butch
Jones and Lonnie Scott.
SCHOOL BOARD
District
1: Tina Pinkoson v Clint Robinson -
we vote for Clint Robinson.
Clint receives our strong endorsement as an experienced teacher with
good ideas for the future and a solid support for women’s rights. We appreciate Tina meeting and sharing her
views with us.
District
5: Ginger Childs v Deb Cupples - a
tough choice. Ginger has the
experience, but Deb has the initiative to look into problems instead of
taking things at face value, for example, on the issue of racism - one of
NOW’s 5 core issues. Other than that
issue, as far as NOW's core issues are concerned, we were unable to discern
any significant differences.. Talk to
each of them - decide whom you prefer.
