Our endorsements for the general election, all in 1 place

As we did in the primary this summer, the Orlando Sentinel Editorial Board members interviewed dozens of candidates running in congressional, state and local races in the general election. The interviews served dual purposes. Along with our research into the candidates’ qualifications, backgrounds and voting records, the Editorial Board uses these sessions to assist in making many of the nearly 50 endorsements listed below. You can read the endorsements in each of these races at OrlandoSentinel.com/ endorsements.

In addition, we put the full interviews on our website so readers can see for themselves what candidates had to say during our question-and-answer sessions. Those interviews are posted on ourwebsite at OrlandoSentinel.com/interviews.

We’re also making recommendations in all six of the proposed amendments to the Florida Constitution.

The endorsements below are the opinion of the Orlando Sentinel Editorial Board, which operates separately from the newsroom. The Editorial Board consists of Opinion Editor Mike Lafferty, Jennifer A. Marcial Ocasio, Jay Reddick, David Whitley and Editor-in-Chief Julie Anderson. Sentinel Columnist Scott Maxwell participates in interviews and deliberations.
