Virginia Beach – DTRT PAC is a political action committee called to action by citizens and community leaders seeking accountability, transparency, and fairness in local and state government. DTRT PAC is part of a greater movement building stronger communities the RIGHT way by investing resources in education, jobs, food, healthcare, housing, and transportation. 

For the November 2022 Virginia Beach City Council and School Board elections, DTRT PAC will play a role in electing candidates who support our mission and who are willing to make tough decisions instead of catering to special interests or playing politics. DTRT PAC seeks change from the status quo and government bureaucracy and will support candidates who will DUE THE RIGHT THING.

“Due The Right Things will be a difference maker in these new district races where in the past the at-large voting system, special interest groups, and the establishment always made it difficult for challengers to win, DTRT PAC will be a needed force multiplier for viable candidates,” said DTRT PAC co-founder Gary McCollum.

In the weeks before this year’s endorsement meeting, DTRT PAC examined the candidate’s platform, social media, website information, and fundraising reports. In addition, DTRT PAC solicited responses to questionnaires from all the candidates running in for Virginia Beach City Council and School Board races. Further, to be considered for endorsement the candidates must have submitted their questionnaire responses. 

“DTRT PAC looks for candidates who will challenge the status quo and who will help to make a difference in focusing on our neighborhoods, schools, and businesses who have been marginally left out of the equation.  We endorsed candidates who were willing to listen to us and who will go the extra mile to DUE THE RIGHT THING when it comes to serving the needs of the community,” said Dr. James Allen, co-founder DTRT PAC.

For the November 2022 Virginia Beach City Council and School Board elections, DTRT PAC will be supporting the following candidates:

School Board

“We want candidates who are genuine in delivering their campaign promises, we want people who will make an impact if elected and while they are in office, we want bridge builders and community partners.  The candidates we have endorsed will DUE THE RIGHT THING,” said DTRT PAC executive board member, Dr. Veronica Coleman.

DTRT PAC support of its candidates only begins with the endorsement.  DTRT will campaign vigorously for the candidates with canvassing and get out the vote efforts, strategic consulting, campaign logistics support, media/print and monetary contributions necessary to win elections.
