This information is provided by the candidate
In all my past campaigns for this office, I have been most proud of my endorsment list, which I have always felt contained more activists, community leaders, and elected officials, than that of any other candidate. Had I chosen to seek individual endorsements again this year, I have no doubt that I would have a list that was better than ever, but for the first time, I chose not to do so. Once again, the only challenger to the three incumbents is a non-campaigning "perennial candidate" who has little or no chance to win, especially because he doesn't even have a ballot statement, so I concluded that it was not worth my time, nor that of the many dozens of people whose endorsments I would have sought (and obtained) to gather them, the purpose of which would have been, as usual, to spend thousands of dollars on newspapers ads to display their names. That said, I am doing minimal fundraising to repay the costs of my ballot statement and other minor expenses, and fully participating in the camapign through appearances at several candidates' forums, all of which I have been endorsed at thus far (the Marin NWPC only "recommends" men, since it can't "endorse" them), incluidng the three highlighted, plus the Novato Democratic Club, and there is one possible one outstanding to date.
