Vail Daily Endorsement: Kathy Chandler-Henry, Matt Scherr for county seats

Local voters have four strong choices for the two Eagle County Commissioner seats on the ballot this year, but we’re urging voters to stick with Chandler-Henry and the other incumbent, Matt Scherr. That endorsement has nothing to do with party affiliation and everything to do with the calm, decisive leadership both have displayed as COVID-19 wreaked havoc on our daily lives and rattled the local economy. Their engagement and responsiveness helped turn the tide from the county leading the state in the number of COVID-19 cases per capita in March to being the first to be given an exemption from the governor, in April, from strict stay-at-home orders.
