Candidate Endorsements

EACH ELECTION CYCLE, THE METRO PAC INTERVIEWS CANDIDATES in city council, board of supervisor and state legislative races throughout the six-county Sacramento region. Candidates are endorsed based on their responses to a candidate questionnaire and during personal interviews.

Metro PAC bylaws do allow for early endorsements to candidates without an interview if one of two conditions are met: A candidate has been previously endorsed by the MetroPAC; or if the candidate has an existing relationship with the Metro Chamber.

Over the years, the Metro PAC has helped the Metro Chamber expand its relevance and reach with elected officials throughout the greater Sacramento region. Metro PAC recently administers three independent expenditure committees to raise funds and conduct independent campaigns in support specific candidates in key races, including Susan Peters and Jimmie Yee for Supervisor.

In the 2006 election cycle, Metro PAC provided significant financial support to Bernard Bowler and Larry Masuoka, both Metro Chamber members running for the Sacramento City Unified and San Juan school boards, respectively.

For the 2008 general election on November 4, Metro PAC has made endorsements of candidates and propositions/ballot measures within the six-county region.
