My goal in starting this thread was to learn more about the candidates from those who had a chance to meet with them face-to-face. I would still like to hear personal opinions, but also get a fuller official PM explanation of why these candidates were endorsed (and in the case of the 10th, why there was no endorsement).   For example, what were the key issues giving it to Guest over Schiff, and Benson over Casserly? (I heard Colvin Roy didn’t ask to screen, nor was she screened, so I guess that speaks for itself.)   Just looking for substance behind the endorsements, as a way for substance throughout the endorsement process…   Thanks, David Brauer King Field – Ward 10 – Undecided in my own ward at this point
