ICHG ENDORSEMENT LIST – FEBRUARY 2, 2010 PRIMARY

Where a particular office is not listed at all, that indicates the ICHG will not take action at this time, but reserves the right to make an endorsement for a candidate later in the campaign.  Where “No endorsement” is listed, that indicates our absolute disgust with the choices available to voters in that race on February 2nd.
