PAC ENDORSEMENTS: The Progressive Leadership Coalition Political Action Committee is endorsing candidates in next month's Youngstown City Council Democratic primary. The PAC, created by four Youngstown men with close ties to Mayor Jay Williams, is seen by some as a potentially powerful player in Youngstown politics.
The PAC's 10-member executive committee is supporting DeMaine Kitchen in the 2nd Ward, Jamael Tito Brown in the 3rd Ward, Councilwoman Carol Rimedio-Righetti in the 4th Ward, Paul Drennen in the 5th, Janet Tarpley in the 6th, and Councilman Mark S. Memmer in the 7th. The committee opted to not endorse in the 1st Ward race between Annie Gillam and Mike Write..
Brown, one of the PAC's founders, and Rimedio-Righetti are unopposed.
The PAC will offer money to and volunteers for its endorsed candidates, said Herman Hill, its chairman.
