Endorsements are interesting things. Sometimes, they can mean significant support for a given candidate. And sometimes, they are of interest only to political junkies who like to try to read the tea leaves – and keep track of “who likes so-and-so.” (Yes, politics can often be like middle school.)
So, for those of you who follow endorsements — for whatever reason — here are the current endorsements of the major Democratic candidates in both the Senate race and the KY-06 race. Note that the order of the list doesn’t imply anything other than the first letter of their last name. 😉
And, if you are looking for a candidate not listed here, know that we reached out to all the campaigns, asking for their list of endorsements. If any not listed here reply, we’ll add their endorsements to the list.
