    MAJOR newspaper endorsement.
    Only ones I know of are this year. Indy as mentioned above and in Ohio for Ohio Treasurer. Never heard of anyone for Congress from a MAJOR newspaper. Ed Clark for President got some endorsements from small newspapers back in 1980. THE WORM is turning.

    The Indianapolis Star has never endorsed a Libertarian before. It’s the type of newspaper that only endorses candidates it thinks will win.

    That’s not Congress, but pretty significant.

    To be honest, the editorial at the link says that the Democrat and Republican snubbed the editorial board. The writer then goes on to priase both the Libertarian and the independent candidate.

    Congratulations Chard Reid on the endorsement. I have a question for the historians and those with excellent memories. Has a Libertarian congressional candidate ever received a major newspaper endorsement before?
