The Herald endorsed me in its October 8 issue.

Among other qualities, the Herald highlighted: “While bringing more business acumen to the council, he would also shake up what can be an insiders' club.”  It continued mentioning my “outsider's perspective, that makes Bachofner's candidacy attractive. He is smart and aggressive—smart enough to ask the right questions and aggressive enough to insist on straight answers.”

Monterey County Weekly endorsed me in its October 16 issue.

The Weekly wrote I have “vision for the city, [am] committed to seeing some key developments go through, support sustainability and will bring a refreshingly independent spirit to the City Council. We’re delighted to see such strong candidates for council.”

The Monterey County Association of Realtors BORPAC endorsed me on October 7.

BORPAC is the only commerce oriented group to make an endorsement this election cycle.
