BRACK: GwinnettForum’s endorsements for the May 24 primary

BRACK: GwinnettForum’s endorsements for the May 24 primary

By Elliott Brack |  Today the entire issue of GwinnettForum will reveal our  selection of the statewide and Gwinnett candidates who we feel will be the best nominees in current races of each of the political parties on May 24. We do this after talking and getting to know 75 candidates individually, and evaluating their backgrounds and their platforms. If candidates have no opposition in the primary, we do not list an endorsement, since they automatically become the nominee of that party for that office.
