In addition to the endorsement, March On PAC is contributing directly to Smith’s campaign and launching digital advertising and voter engagement efforts focused on reaching working families and expanding participation in the district.
“Working families do not need more delays or empty promises,” Pringle added. “They need leaders who are ready to act, ready to serve, and ready to deliver results. That is why we are proud to support Austin Smith.”
