editorial page editor Jay Jochnowitz talks about how the editorial board made their decision to endorse a candidate in the contentious primary race for Albany County District Attorney

part of criteria we use...it it kind of behoves a challenger to explain why the incumbent doesn't deserve to keep the job that they've had.  If they are doing a good job, they are doing a good job and that's a good thing... and, if they're not that's the case the challenger has to make.

Albany Times Union's June 15, 2020 editorial: 
"For the Assembly: McDonald"
