In all those years this site has never publicly endorsed any candidate for elected office in Londonderry. Many people have asked privately and I&#8217;ve given them my &#8216;picks&#8217; for the election, but not posted them on this site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year is different having watched town politics on both the Town and School side over the last few years I&#8217;ve seen and hear a lot, much of which never makes it to a post on the TU.
