I found the lead editorial from March 4 ("Leading the Pack") to be a bit misleading in nature. The editorial wishes to endorse a specific candidate for the office of Chair of the Judiciary and Honor Committees, but the editors failed to speak with all representatives who have been elected (only speaking to those from some of the more contested representative races). It is also important to note that elections for the Curry School were not yet complete, and The Cavalier Daily's attempt to support a specific candidate is extremely premature from a time perspective. To think that The Cavalier Daily did not take the time needed to speak with all representatives is very disheartening, considering that The Cavalier Daily is supposed to be a source of factually accurate and detailed information. I sincerely hope that The Cavalier Daily better handles these sorts of nuances in the future, and perhaps it may be best to refrain from publicly supporting any candidate.
