Some not-too-shocking endorsements

The Spokane County Republican Party has gone waaaaay out on a limb and endorsed three incumbent Republicans running for re-election to county office

The party sent out a press release over the weekend that it is endorsing Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich, Treasurer Rob Chase and Assessor Vicki Horton. The Knezovich endorsement is only mildly controversial, considering he's running against another Republican, Doug Orr, for the job. But he also was among the biggest vote-getters in the primary.

Others will be simply shocked that the progressive Inland Northwest Leadership PAC is endorsing 11 candidates in November, and that all the ones running for a partisan office are Democrats.
