[Phew! Putting these endorsements together takes LOTS of hard work—and that’s on top of our regular excellent reporting. If you use our cheat sheet, consider showing your appreciation for the Mercury with a small contribution, please, and thank you! And just so ya know, the Mercury does not endorse in uncontested races, and any political advertising the Mercury receives has absolutely no bearing on our endorsement decisions.—eds]
