It's been the general practice of The News to make mayoral endorsements since at least the 1960s, and perhaps earlier than that. Since I've been here (starting in 2002), we have endorsed in every mayoral election, in both Newburyport and Amesbury. We also make endorsements in presidential,gubernatorial, and override/debt exclusion elections. When state senate and state rep, elections are contested, we make endorsements. Usually they are not contested.
I'm not sure we endorsed that frequently in the 1990s although I do recall our supporting Lisa Mead over Byron Matthews in 1995? (Was it 95?)
