ENDORSEMENTS
Council primaries

Choose old hand, new face in 1st District

[...]

The strongest, clearest choices are newcomer Gwendolyn Godfrey and former Councilman Robert Jefferson.

[...]

Other first-time candidates also make strong impressions in this race.
Andrea James has a history of deep involvement in the district, including serving on the MLK association board.

[...]

The fifth candidate, Terrence Tichenor, did not respond to a request for a meeting with the editorial board.

Why should candidates take the time to suck up to the Herald Leader editorial board if they are not going to be endorsed? Does the Herald Leader punish those candidates by not reporting on them. Or giving one sentence, as they do with Tichenor?
