The following is a round-up of Post-Dispatch editorial board endorsements in area propositions, ballot questions and contested races in Tuesday's primary election.
U.S. Senate, Republican primary: Todd Akin
What we wrote: "He isn't faking it when he endorses the worst of the GOP agenda. He actually believes it. What you see is what you get."
Missouri governor, Republican primary: Bill Randles
What we wrote: "He's smart. He'll be massively outspent in the fall, but he'll challenge Jay Nixon, the Democratic incumbent, to defend his policies...."

What we wrote: "We choose the plodder over the pal of predatory profiteers."
Missouri Senate, 1st District, Democratic primary: Scott Sifton
What we wrote: "Mr. Sifton's position against accepting lobbyists' gifts puts him in a better position to challenge [the] lobby-friendly incumbent...."
Missouri Senate, 5th District, Democratic primary: Jeanette Mott Oxford
What we wrote: "In the House ... she backed all the right policies, standing up for children and families, pleading with her colleagues to care about the poor and pushing for a revamped tax structure that would bring more revenue to the state and create a fairer collection system."
Missouri Senate, 13th District, Democratic primary: Gina Walsh
What we wrote: "She will stand up for workers and represent her constituents well."
St. Louis Treasurer, Democratic primary: Fred Wessels
What we wrote: "He wants to get the office cleaned up, modernized, straightened out and then eliminated."
St. Charles County Proposition R: Yes
What we wrote: "It would continue until 2026 a half-cent sales tax for road construction and repair, a vital need in the fast-growing county."
Statewide Amendment 2: No
What we wrote: "Amendment 2 ... is a wolf in sheep's clothing.... It is more about restricting prayer than allowing it."
