Charlotte, NC – On Wednesday April 20th MeckPac, The Non-partisan Mecklenburg Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Political Action Committee, endorsed local candidates for Mecklenburg County. Among their endorsements was Libertarian candidate for County Commissioner At-Large, Jason Bateman. He received the Committee’s highest level of recommendation for his support and dedication to achieving equality and promoting liberty for the citizens of Mecklenburg County. Bateman was enthusiastic about the endorsement:
“I am thrilled to receive MeckPac’s endorsement and have always believed that the fight for equality was essential to the fight for personal liberty. Discrimination at any level of government or by government is a threat to the liberty and privacy of all citizens and as County Commissioner I promise to continue the fight against such intrusions. Unfortunately, one does not have to look very far today to see examples of this, as such a threat is facing the voters at the ballot box on May 8th. My campaign and the Libertarian Party have been trying hard to convince voters in Mecklenburg to vote ‘against’ Amendment One. I thank MeckPac for their support and I am confident that this is the beginning of many more endorsements and support as our message reaches more voters and citizen groups. That message is that Mecklenburg County government needs to focus its efforts and resources on essential functions such as law enforcement, infrastructure and education rather than interfering in its citizens’ private lives, legislating morality and spending taxpayer money on corporate giveaways and pet projects.”
