Wants Objective Endorsements

Dear Editor,
   The Chronicle’s recent endorsement of career politician Lloyd Doggett for the Special Congressional Election in recently redrawn District 25 evidenced its extreme bias ["Endorsements," Oct. 20]. I take exception with the Chronicle implying that I am a weak candidate when no Chronicle reporter has contacted me during this campaign.
   For someone who the Chronicle claims provides "constituent service of all kinds," Doggett seems steadfast in his unwillingness to introduce any meaningful legislation that will not be sent directly to the committee or subcommittee that he sits on. Signaling to the people he supposedly represents that they might as well lobby other congressional members if they have a concern that is not related to the Ways and Means Committee.
   While Doggett has not done badly, neither has he done much good. He is a seat warmer with a friendly smile. Had the Chronicle been objective and thorough in their research, the editors would have had more reliable information from which to draw a more educated opinion.
