For the top-two primary, PubliCola is only making endorsements in races in which there are more than two candidates. In races with just two candidates, both go through to the general. We will endorse in those races in October.

We are, however, also endorsing in the two-person race for Supreme Court Position 1, in which the candidate that wins the primary wins the seat.
