Endorsement watch: The lightly contested candidates

Today the Chron gives its recommendations for candidates who face only Libertarian Party opposition. For the State House, that's the following:


State representative, District 130 - Corbin Van Arsdale

State representative, District 131 - Alma A. Allen

State representative, District 132 - Bill Callegari

State representative, District 142 - Harold V. Dutton Jr.

State representative, District 146 - Boris L. Miles

State representative, District 148 - Jessica Cristina Farrar


Candidates who are totally unopposed, and therefore presumably do not go through the endorsement interview process, are Wayne Smith (HD128), Gary Elkins (HD135), Sylvester Turner (HD139), Kevin Bailey (HD140), Senfronia Thompson (HD141), Rick Noriega (HD145), and Garnet Coleman (HD147). Of the remaining contested races, the Chron made five endorsements over the weekend, and has seven more to go: HDs 126 (Khan/Harless), 127 (Trautman/Crabb), 129 (Matula/Davis), 133 (Thibaut/Murphy), 136 (Brann/Woolley), 138 (McDavid/Bohac), and 150 (Nelson-Turnier/Riddle). My guesses for how they'll go in those races are here.

State representative, District 146 - Boris L. Miles

They might have spelled his name right.

I'm just glad they didn't call him Herbert.

Candidates who are totally unopposed, and therefore presumably do not go through the endorsement interview process.

But also some candidates who are opposed have historically not gone through the endorsement interview process. The Chronic is not accountable to its subscribers on endorsements - just its advertisers.
