HuntPAC Announces Endorsements for Primary Election

      The Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce’s political action committee, HuntPAC, has made their endorsements for the May 13 primary election. These candidates represent whom HuntPAC has determined to be “good for the Huntington area business community”.  HuntPAC utilized questionnaires, campaign materials, web sites, and in some cases interviews to determine whom to endorse. In the case of incumbents, past performance was a key factor. The process of course is not perfect, and HuntPAC is not in 100% agreement with the positions taken by endorsed candidates on all issues. In some cases, the choice was very difficult and the Committee had to look at a wide range of issues and strike a balance in determining whether or not to endorse. HuntPAC encourages members of the Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce to not only vote for these pro-business candidates, but to financially support them in their campaigns.
