The recent uproar over endorsements in the Democratic primary for the 16th Congressional District may be due to human error.
Candidates with similar backgrounds may have had similar contacts. For example, both Democratic candidates in HD-16 are members of the Corvallis School Board. Board records speak about the board itself, not its individual members.
When voters judge a candidate for public office, they need access to the opinions of those who have observed or worked with him or her record in previous office. That's where recognition serves a purpose.
Voters expect genuine coverage of candidates' backgrounds, without dramatization or exaggeration. This is essential to our election process.
