Orlando Local News seeks to endorse candidates with three factors: integrity, loyalty to the district's constituents (i.e. their values) and competency. Our board spent the past month discussing the best and most qualified candidates for public office and settled on these choices. We appreciate your continued support and look forward on hearing from you on our selections. The Local News cannot cover every race, nor does our board believe we should as many candidates remain equally qualified. Therefore, a broad spectrum of office seekers/holders from both parties will be endorsed with some exceptions.
