We Like Doug

We only endorsed candidates in contested races so we didn't have a chance to vote for Doug in his City Council race. And we endorsed his opponent for Controller. But despite all this Doug still shows up at all our events, supported us at our fund raiser:








Even cooler, Doug bought one of our bracelets












And coolest of all, he showed up the next day at work wearing the bracelet!





If you want to be cool like Doug, email Roxanne at pittsburgh @ indyvoter.org and you too can have your very own bracelet, just like the cool kids.

Who, what, how, why....

The PA LYV PAC Youth Slate invited super volunteers to participate in our endorsement process. Those who accepted considered the candidates answers to our questionnaire, the candidates record of public, private and community service, and any other available material. We only considered candidates in contested races and only candidates who received at least 60% of the vote received endorsement.

The PA LYV PAC Youth Slate includes candidates who represent the best interest of the city’s diverse young population. These candidates have demonstrated track records serving the interests of young people and/or have youth friendly platforms. Candidates also participated in answering candidate questionnaires and in filming segments for the video voter guide.
