City council races are nonpartisan, but some candidates still receive endorsements from political parties. What’s your view on the role of party endorsements in a nonpartisan race, and did you seek any?

Gregory Daggett

My view is that the endorsing procedure can give disproportionate weight to a few party activists. It is best to visit https://www.vote411.org/ from the League of Women Voters, that’s on the last page of the Official Humboldt County Voter Information Guide for great information on all candidates, websites, and social media.
