Today, the Hickory Daily Record endorsed Daniel Johnson for Congress. The endorsement marks a clean sweep for Daniel Johnson of the newspapers who have so far endorsed in the race for North Carolina's 10th Congressional District seat.

These endorsements demonstrate that Daniel Johnson has effectively communicated his dedication to public service, not a political agenda, and his commitment to making the economy work for Western North Carolina families.

The Hickory Daily Record, October 31, 2008:
"Johnson is a man driven by values he learned while growing up in Hickory and Catawba County. Those values will continue to guide him if he is elected to Congress. Johnson has consistently shown service to others is more important to him than advancing his own self-interests."

The Charlotte Observer, Wednesday, October 15, 2008:
"[Daniel Johnson] offers clear, thoughtful, independent-minded views on the issues he will address as a member of Congress. Just as important, he expresses a desire to remain open-minded and seek consensus."

The News at Norman, Wednesday, October 15, 2008:
"[Daniel Johnson] will not be a party hack and wants to end the incessant bickering in Washington that results in more name-calling than positive action."
"Perhaps most importantly, he will fight for jobs for our people and not sit quietly on the sidelines while our jobs are exported overseas. Daniel Johnson is a man of conviction who will represent us well and make a positive difference."
