Civic group reveals endorsements:
One week after sponsoring the first City Commission candidate forum of the 2024 season, CityPAC issued an endorsement of candidates in two of the city’s three districts -Ron Kashden in District 2 and Kathy Kelley Ohlrich in District 3. The group made no endorsement in District 1 at this time.
CityPAC’s endorsement “badge of approval” goes only to those who show they have the ability and the willingness to uphold the organization’s ideals for the job. Those ideals include working for responsible growth, preserving the city’s character and enforcing the city’s codes. Read press release.

2024 Candidate Pledge
To ensure special interests don't cloud city decisions, CityPAC will be requiring, as a condition of endorsement, that candidates agree to this pledge:
“I will not knowingly accept contributions from developers or their agents.”
At a recent meeting of the CityPAC advisory board, former mayor Mollie Cardamone explained the source of the rules that guided her votes - the "Sadowski Creed" crafted by former state legislature Bill Sadowski.
We seek resident-friendly representatives who will honor Bill Sadowski's code
