State House Democratic candidate Sam Singh, who is running for the 69th district seat, received an endorsement from the Michigan Licensed Beverage Association last week, adding to a growing list of support from area associations and individuals.
But some political experts say despite candidates publicizing the support they’ve earned, endorsements aren’t always likely to have an impact on area voters, who often already are divided along party lines in the general election.
Singh is cruising to an easy victory in the Democratic-leaning district, which includes East Lansing, after securing dozens of endorsements for a tight primary battle.
Bill Ballenger, editor of Inside Michigan Politics, said in a general election, voters often already are decided on which candidate to vote for and are less likely to pay attention to endorsements.
