Here's the DSEA process for picking "Friendly Incumbents" to recommend to members.

A “Friendly Incumbent” designation means that a current officeholder is recommended by DSEA to its members for re-election due to her/his strong support for issues affecting public education and DSEA members. Designation as a “Friendly Incumbent” thus eliminates the need for DSEA to conduct candidate interviews in those particular races.

For races in which there is no “Friendly Incumbent,” DSEA reserves the right to determine whether or not to interview candidates. If candidate interviews are conducted, the DSEA Interview Team makes one of two recommendations to the DSEA Executive Board for final action: recommendation of a candidate or no recommendation at all.
