Why was there ANA election propaganda in the Heritage catalog?

Longacre

When I got the Heritage catalog, it contained two flyers for Rossman and Stuppler for their upcoming ANA elections. I was wondering how these got included in the catalog and to what extent Heritage is either indirectly endorsing these candidates, or whether it was just a "paid advertisement" that Heritage decided to include. What did you think of it?

The ANA selects an "official" auctioneer for their two annual shows. Its a big deal financially.

I think that it is simply that Heritage endorses those two candidates. It was certainly not a paid advertisement.

Julian:

I agree with you that it is likely the case that Heritage endorses these two candidates. So, from your perspective, should this (potential) fact make me more or less likely to vote for these two candidates? For what it's worth, I am positively inclined toward both Rossman and Stuppler, but I am honestly not sure how I should weight this Heritage endorsement.

Do your homework and vote your conscience.

These candidates are not Heritage employees. Heritage (Steve & Jim, particularly) like these two men.

If you have issues with Heritage, deal with those directly with Heritage.

It should not effect your decision on the ANA election.
