John Hock endorsed for 18th Subcircuit vacancy by local Democratic committeepersons

State Sen. (and Maine Township Democratic Committeeperson) Laura Murphy has confirmed to FWIW that John Hock has received the endorsement of the local Democratic committeepersons for the "A" vacancy in the new 18th Subcircuit.

This is the first subcircuit endorsement that FWIW has been able to verify in this primary season (other candidates in other subcircuits are touting their endorsement claims on Facebook and elsewhere, but this endorsement has been confirmed by one of the committeepersons involved in making the endorsement).

FWIW would like to publish newsworthy endorsements, where made, by whomsoever made -- but, adhering as closely as we can to the old City News Bureau motto ("if your mother says she loves you, check it out"), FWIW will not typically publish endorsement claims that we can not independently verify. (Aside to candidates: If Rep. Smith or Cong. Jones or the Butchers, Bakers, and Candlestick Makers Union say they endorse you, they should be willing to say so publicly -- but too often they do not. Go figure.)

Although there do not seem to be as many of these in recent years, some subcircuits may (should) hold public endorsement sessions. If you know of one of these being set, feel free to email me at jackleyhane@yahoo.com. Tips about endorsements (or politicians or unions just bustin' with pride over their endorsement of Candidate X) should be sent to that address also.
