Large Newspapers Endorse a Few Minor Party Nominees (Updated) — 4 Comments

  1. New party candidates getting ANY endorsements is good news. Thanks for the info.
    Two points: In 1994, Libertarian Brooke King got the endorsement of both Albuquerque newspapers in his bid for a legislative seat, but surely this is the first time a Libertarian got a two-paper endorsement for Congress.
    Second, I don’t believe the Jackson Free Press qualifies as a “large newspaper.” The “large” paper in Jackson is the Clarion Ledger, once a pretty good paper, but now owned by Gannett … which spells doom for quality.
    Keep up the excellent work, Richard.

  2. Julie Samuels, Green Party candidate for the Illinois House, 8th district, has been endorsed by the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times.

  3. A few more Green newspaper endorsees (and I assume this is for partisan candidates only):

    San Francisco Bay Guardian: Terry Baum and Pat Gray for U.S. Representative, Districts 8 and 12, California

    Fort Collins Coloradoan: Robert Kinsey for U.S. Representative, District 4, Colorado

    Hartford Courant: Thomas Sevigny for State Senator, District 8, Connecticut

    Portland Press-Herald: Elizabeth Trice for State Representative, District 116, Maine

  4. Baltimore Sun endorsed Glenn L. Ross, the Green Party’s candidate in Baltimore City Council District 13.

    The Baltimore City Paper (which, although not a large national daily like the Sun, does have wide local circulation) endorsed several other Green candidates this year in Baltimore.
