Endorsements

As a public official, I have been asked to endorse other officials and candidates I have never met nor even talked to. Such people believe voters are impressed by long lists of endorsements, regardless of whether those endorsements mean anything. I give voters more credit than that.

​

Early in my service as a trustee, I made a deliberate decision not to request endorsements, and I have continued that policy. I have received unsolicited expressions of support from people inside and outside of NOCCCD, but I have not publicized the specifics of them. I am deeply appreciative of everyone who believes in the value of my service as a trustee, but you can be certain that if any person or group chooses to endorse me, it was on their own initiative, not because I asked them to do so.
