The Simkins PAC, the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People and Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker are endorsing Kay Hagan.

The Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate impressed the Journal and Meeker with her experience in North Carolina politics, particularly in the legislature.

Meeker will be attending the Wake County Convention on Saturday in Hagan's behalf.

The Greensboro-based Simkins PAC and the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People cited Hagan's advocacy for minority rights.

While in the General Assembly, Hagan supported initiatives to help minorities, voted to increase the minimum wage and supported the use of $8 million for gang violence prevention, the two groups said in a press release.

"I'm so honored that both of these organizations have chosen to endorse my candidacy for the U.S. Senate," Hagan said a statement.
