TELL US: Do You Agree with 'The Chronicle's' Endorsements

Local newspaper The Sun Chronicle is calling for change with its endorsements for the two local state House races. In an editorial that appeared in the Tuesday edition titled "New Faces Needed in Mass. House," the newspaper recommended voters choose Democrat Paul Heroux in the election for the 2nd Bristol District (which includes most of Attleboro) and Democrat A. Keith Carreiro in the contest for the 4th Bristol District (which includes Seekonk and several other communities).

Both Democrats are facing Republican incumbents coming off their first terms in the House, with Heroux challenging Rep. George Ross and Carreiro taking on Rep. Steven Howitt.

Regarding the incumbents, The Chronicle wrote, "Both have had lackluster first terms and now face energetic opponents with fresh ideas."

What do you think of the newspaper's endorsements and what effect do you think they will have on the election? Do you think newspapers should make endorsements? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Note: Attleboro-Seekonk Patch does not make endorsements. That is not an indication of an opinion that newspapers/news websites should not make endorsements. The editor of this website also writes most of the government articles and making endorsements would take away from neutrality of the coverage.
