BRACK: Forum urges nomination of these people in June primaries

BRACK: Forum urges nomination of these people in June primaries

MAY9, 2020  |  Today we present the result of spending time and getting to know 91 candidates in the upcoming primary and non-partisan elections. We are proud to endorse this list of candidates.

We do not endorse in any races where we have not spoken personally to the candidate.  We have not talked with unopposed primary candidates. If these candidates have opposition in the General Election, we will invite them to talk with us before November. In a few races, we do not find candidates worthy of election, and will not endorse in that race.

By Elliott Brack  |  Joe Biden hasn’t asked us for this advice, but we think we have a sure-fire way for him to ensure he will become the next president. It has to do with his selection of his running mate, the person who would become vice president in his administration. 

He should pick Michelle Obama.

By Elliott Brack  |  There appears to be a “group think” all across the nation that we should “remain in place” during this pandemic. It appears that most people just plain question whether it is best to get out and about once again.
