Rafael Castellanos, one of the eight candidates seeking Greg Cox\u2019s coveted seat, has received the <em>Union-Tribune<\/em>&#8216;s stamp of approval. Incredibly, the one Republican candidate in the race, Alex Galicia, was functionally excluded from the selection process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Galicia has received the short end of the proverbial stick since day one. The <em>U-T<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandiegouniontribune.com\/supesd1\">published<\/a> interviews with four of the candidates\u2014all Democrats\u2014back in January. They didn\u2019t even bother to reach out to Galicia for any sort of information, claiming that he isn\u2019t a \u201cserious candidate\u201d due to a set of arbitrary criteria. The fact that the <em>U-T<\/em> didn\u2019t even send an email to the Republican Party of San Diego County&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sandiegorepublicans.org\/endorsements.html\">endorsed<\/a> candidate speaks volumes about their commitment to the truth (or lack thereof).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, <em>San Diego News Desk<\/em> is happy to do the work that the <em>Union-Tribune<\/em> won&#8217;t when it comes to keeping San Diegans informed.
