In my experience, endorsements by public officials, they don't count for anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I feel a little uncomfortable about endorsements.
On some level any appearance on Television can be seen as a product endorsement.
The endorsement process is an evolution. What you try to do is you endorse someone that you believe in and their ideas and their solutions align with yours.
You know, this is not about endorsements in the primary. We have to get through a primary first.
The one endorsement that makes the most difference is from the constituents in the district.
I mean there are many people who have endorsed me that I agree with on some things and not others.
We take our endorsements seriously.
I contribute to public candidate campaigns, and there's a federal limit on how much you can contribute to each individual candidate. I obey the law in that regard, and I feel like I'm doing it properly.
I have to - I think an endorsement is something incredibly important. I would never do it just strategically. I would have to have full confidence that I have got no questions about the person.
Endorsements are a reward for good performance on the field, and the commitments made after signing them need to be done.
