The Colorado Independent is putting the press to the test — we’re compiling newspaper endorsements, analyzing them and then tracking the persuasive talents of editorial boards statewide.

Except the Rocky Mountain News, which according to an Oct. 18 editorial by publisher John Temple, will not endorse any political candidates this time around.

And of course, that’s our policy too. As a non-partisan, nonprofit news organization, we don’t make endorsements on candidates nor ballot issues.

You can help update the list — and subsequent ones too on state races and ballot measures through Election Day — by adding a comment below when you read a print or online endorsement of a federal candidate.
