'Tis the season for hopeful political candidates to flood your email
inbox and social media feeds announcing the endorsements from elected
officials (past, present and wannabees) they have received.

Do candidates receiving endorsements from an elected official really
move the needle for the voter? The answer from the people I have talked
to can be summed up in one word.

Meh.

Today, I will take you behind the curtain of political endorsements
(different than endorsements from organizations) so you get a glimpse of
the different categories. You may never look at an endorsement the same
way again.

Category 1: The Candidate chasing their golden ticket of endorsements
which will elevate them to winning their election. It's a numbers game
for some of them and every endorsement is their validation. They are the
Sally Field of candidates when they receive an endorsement, "I can't
deny the fact you like me. Right now, you like me!"

Category 2: The Endorser. This applies to former, present, and hopeful
politicians. Some believe they are the king and queen makers of
politics. For some endorsers they only endorsed because of political
pressure. A buddy asked them for a favor and they couldn't (didn't) say
no. Some toss their endorsements out as if they are doing their best
Oprah impression, "You get an endorsement! You get an endorsement!"

Category 3: The Candidate is smoke and mirrors. When the person
announced their candidacy, they trotted out political endorsements on
day one or within a few weeks. This Candidate's plan is to slide into
victory while they hide behind the accomplishments of others. Some
people believe this Candidate received their political endorsements
because of one or more of the following reasons:
* Quid pro quo

* Political cronyism

Category 4: The Independent. I am proudly in the fourth category. I
refuse political endorsements. My focus is on the needs of the community
and not on political games. My work ethic and message resonate with our
community because I am the community. The endorsements I am proud to
receive are the testimonials from our neighbors that I have met at their
doors.
