Considered many factors

I’d like to express my satisfaction to the Herald editorial board concerning the job they did endorsing political candidates and state ballot issues. Although you didn’t chose all the candidates I support, it appears you considered many factors before making your choices. The fact that you did not simply choose all the candidates in one party shows you gave your selections some thought and you were more open minded than some other organizations, such as my union. I appreciate your willingness to look at the issues and candidates fairly.
