Well it seems like yesterday was endorsement day for Republicans who have primaries on June 3^rd. The first one to grace my inbox was from the Miller-Meeks campaign, who received the endorsement from State Representative Jeff Kaufmann.

“Mariannette represents the best that the Republican Party has to offer for service to this state. Her unique background places her in a perfect position to take the lead on health care issues, national defense, and economic development,” Kaufmann said. “Her conservative credentials are without question and her background as a soldier and a medical doctor are exactly the diverse background and level of expertise that that we need in our representative in Congress.”

I’m not one that puts a lot of weight into political endorsements, however in a primary I think they are quite valuable in helping make some inroads in certain communities and groups of people.

The second endorsement was from George Eichhorn who is in a three way U.S. Senate Primary. It was a list of 32 present and former legislators and party officials. The list is made up of very conservative Republicans and more moderate Republicans.

Again, in a primary where everyone’s name ID is low these endorsements should help generate some votes for both Miller-Meeks and Eichhorn.
