Equality PAC Endorses Moore for Governor

Equality PAC, North Carolina's state-wide organization working to elect candidates who support fair and and equal treatment for the LGBT community, has issued endorsements for the upcoming primaries. In the all important Governor's race, Equality has endorsed State Treasurer Richard Moore.

“Treasurer Moore has demonstrated leadership in standing up for fairness in state government and is committed to fighting discrimination as Governor,” said Ian Palmquist, the group’s Executive Director. “We are proud to support his campaign.”

The group acknowledged that Moore's decision to adopt of a non-discrimination policy including sexual orientation for the Department of State Treasurer as one of the key reasons for the endorsement. Indeed Moore was one of the few members of the Council of State to add sexual orientation to his agency's non-discrimination policy.

Equality also endorsed Janet Cowell for State Treasurer, June Atkinson for Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Josh Stein for State Senate in Wake County's hotly contested District 16 contest.
