JUNE 5, 2020 | With the three primaries (Democratic, Republican and Non-Partisan) coming on Tuesday, June 9, today GwinnettForum will reiterate the endorsements we made recently of candidates.
This repeat may be less important than in previous years, since so many people have either personally early-voted, or voted by absentee ballots. However, for those voters who wait until the last part of the season to vote, we give these endorsements again.
To make it easier for you, we will give candidates we earlier endorsed by political party, as voters in the primary only see one set of candidates, that is, those of the party of their choice. (Candidates who are unopposed are not listed.)
