ENDORSEMENT PROCESS

The LRC-PAC sent questionnaires to those candidates running for
Lansing city council in the at-large seats, 1st ward, and 3rd ward council
seats. Following the review of candidate questionnaires and candidate
interviews, the LRC-PAC Board of Directors met to discuss each candidate,
the makeup of the election race, and then votes on who to endorse. Once
the board of directors determines which candidates are endorsed, this is
communicated to the candidates. In addition, the LRC-PAC announces
the endorsements to the LRCC membership and general public.
