    I know it may be hard, but there was an election a while back and the newspaper put out a comprehensive evaluation that helped me to vote for like minded people. It had the person’s name, their party affiliation, their previous/current occupation, and where they stand on the issues regarding the office they want. It was a very helpful guide to help me be a responsible voter.

      Good idea, Mare. I had thought about creating an About the Candidates page that would include some of the information you just mentioned. I know it’s often hard for people to keep track of the various candidates, especially if they don’t go to the candidate forums and events. So, a guide like you mentioned would probably be very useful.
