Travis County DA Race: Endorsement Watch

Say what you want about whether endorsements matter, but both candidates in the race for Travis County DA race have racked them up. Travis County Sheriff Greg Hamilton came out for Mindy Montford today.

"Ms. Montford is one of the toughest prosecutors you'll ever meet in a courtroom. As our District Attorney, Ms. Montford will be fair and impartial in the administration of justice throughout Travis County," he said in a statement.

It's tough to keep up with all the new endorsements trickling out so here's a rundown of each candidate's featured supporters, from their respective websites.

UPDATE: The Montford campaign points out that in my original links I linked to "supporters" rather than "endorsements" and it prefers endorsements. So links for endorsements of both candidates are now below.

Elise, I understand in a world of equal time requirements it may be difficult for some in your news orgainization to report all of Montfords endorsement but I would think you could list both sides for your readers?

Typical,
I'm not sure what you're asking. You want me to list every single endorsement of each candidate on this blog? What's the difference between doing that and what I did -- which was provide the full lists by linking straight to both candidates' websites?

That way you can see each candidates' lists, and I am not cherry picking people out arbitrarily. If I'm misunderstanding your request, please clarify.
