Republican endorsements

Here are my endorsements for the statewide races in Tuesday's Republican primary:

Governor - Bob Riley over Roy Moore

Lt. Governor - Mo Brooks over Luther Strange and George Wallace, Jr.

Attorney General - Troy King over Mark Montiel

State Auditor - No endorsement. Candidates are Chess Bedsole, Tripp Skipper, Wes Allen, and Samantha Shaw.

Supreme Court Chief Justice - Drayton Nabers over Tom Parker

Supreme Court Place 1 - Champ Lyons over Ben Hand

Supreme Court Place 2 - Tom Woodall over Henry Fowler

Supreme Court Place 3 - Lyn Stuart over Alan Zeigler

Supreme Court Place 4 - Glenn Murdock over Jean Brown and Tracy Gwyn Birdsong

Court of Civil Appeals Place 1 - Mark Anderson over Terry Moore

Court of Civil Appeals Place 3 - Bill Shashy over Terri Willingham Thomas and Phillip W. Wood

Court of Criminal Appeals Place 3 - Sam Welch over Clay Crenshaw, Beth Kellum, and Alva Lambert

Public Service Commission Place 2 - No endorsement. Candidates are Perry Hooper Jr., John Amari, and Jack Hornady.

As for why I think these are the best Republican choices, I plan to discuss each of them in a series of posts between now and Monday. In addition, I will be providing links to newspaper endorsements and campaign web sites.

And don't worry...I promise to keep my own arguments short and sweet: five sentences or less per post. The main thing I want to do is to disseminate information about each of the candidates.

Stay tuned.
