The Independent Weekly has released its endorsements in a number of local General Assembly races, and they’ve chosen Sen. Bob Atwater and Sen. Ellie Kinnaird.
However, the paper didn’t take the time to research the challengers. Instead, they are basing the endorsements off their knowledge of the incumbents’ records and a questionnaire they sent to candidates, which Roger Gerber answered minimally and Greg Bass didn’t answer at all. Given my experience talking to both challengers, they seem quite happy to provide their opinion on any issue and therefore the Indy appears to have done shoddy reporting. Not a good basis for endorsements, in my opinion.
