Endorsements from party leaders are one tool candidates can use to distinguish themselves. According to political strategist Susan Del Percio, “Endorsements do matter; what you do with them is more important. They need to be treated as a way of targeting the group you seek to persuade, especially on certain issues.”^[1] Endorsements can also help inform voters about their ballot. Northeastern University Political Science Department Chairman Costas Panagopoulos said, "Generally speaking, voters look for information shortcuts in order to make political decisions at times and endorsements can provide some of those cues."^[2]
