Jacksonville Progress
JACKSONVILLE — The Daily Progress editorial board reminds readers of our endorsement policy.
As published on our Opinion page of each daily edition, our endorsement policy is as follows:
"The Jacksonville Daily Progress accepts letters endorsing a candidate or position on issues. Letters must be original and 300 words or less. Letters will be published as space allows, and will not be accepted within three days of an election."
Political endorsements will not be published in the print edition of the Daily Progress until after the March 2 primary. However, letters of political endorsement were published to our e-edition Saturday. You can find the electronic edition of the Daily Progress at www.jacksonvilleprogress.com.
In the event of a run-off election for any contested seat, endorsements will be published again until within three days of the run-off election.
We understand that there will be instances where a letter of endorsement — or one of reverse-endorsement — will be published, and someone will want to submit a rebuttal for publication. We will gladly publish rebuttals to letters, but rebuttals will fall under the three-day rule for political endorsements.
We thank our readers for picking us up every day and those of you who have submitted your letters and endorsements to us. We look forward to receiving more of these during future campaign periods.
