Democratic candidate for Texas Supreme Court Judge Staci Williams earned the endorsement of The Collective PAC.

“Having the support and backing of The Collective PAC truly means a lot,” said Judge Williams. “Their organization works tirelessly to elect candidates who represent the interests of the diverse Black community across the country, and I’m grateful to have them in my corner.”

The Collective PAC, founded by Quentin and Stefanie James in August 2016, has helped 55 candidates win general elections at the local, state and federal level across the country. The group works to fix the challenge of under-representation of the Black community in elected seats of power throughout America. Their website notes that in order to reach political equity – a place where African American elected officials represent the community’s population statistically – Black people should hold at least 13% of all elected offices in the U.S.

“Judge Staci has proven her record of putting the people of Texas first, so we are thrilled to support her in her candidacy for Texas Supreme Court,” said Chris Scott, political director for The Collective PAC. “We look forward to helping ensure she gets elected on Nov. 3.”
