RLn’s June Primary Endorsements

Many voters wait for the last moment to vote and then we get numerous calls and emails asking who to vote for. This year, unlike any municipal election before, every registered voter has gotten a ballot mailed out to them weeks before election day.  You can choose to mail it back, drop it off at certified election boxes or simply turn it in on election day at your local polling place.

Below are our editorial team’s considered endorsements. We have interviewed many of the candidates, some have dropped out belatedly and others are in it to the finish line. We have a number of races not endorsed and my advice, when in doubt, is to vote for the Democrat and not the faux (just changed party) Dems either. 

Just remember that as much as we are defending democracy abroad, democracy starts at home and must be defended at the ballot box by voters taking the time to cast ballots. It preferable to settling political issues with bullets, if you get my meaning.
