Randy,

There is no "membership" in PEC4u.  It's not a membership 
organization, other than being for those who are PEC members having a 
strong voice in how the electrical coop we own is run.

There are eight or ten members of the Steering Committee who are 
actively involved.  All are among the initial group who pushed hard 
enough for change several years ago that we actually got some 
changes, like democratic elections.  The half dozen or so of us who 
made the endorsement on behalf of the Committee are listed in the 
press release (see the website).

The only other endorsements by any organization that I'm aware of 
have been for the same trio.

In my opinion, you should certainly have a look at all the candidates 
and make your own choice based on what you see.   Endorsements are 
basically cheat sheets for those who aren't willing or able to figure 
out who to vote for themselves - they allow you to base your decision 
on what other folks you trust have to say, rather than doing the foot 
work of untangling issues, motives, and all that.

I hope that you're planning to attend the meeting, as that's the only 
way you'll be able to vote now.  Mail and online voting closed on 
Friday.
