I’ve never heard of these candidates, they have no party affiliation, and there’s almost no information about them online that I can find.

Are those positions just for people who work closely with those departments to vote on?

    Just checked this site out and it looks pretty superb on the surface. Each candidate has links to the sites and social media, their experiences and stances are aggregated there and there’s an option to contribute more information.

    The true test will be to see how it handles extremely local candidates like the school board, which I struggled to find information on in the last election.

      I’m not sure about school board because I don’t think we vote for those where I am. I know they reach out to candidates that don’t have easily found information and if the candidate doesn’t respond the organization says so. It’s really helpful for judges in particular because it lists all the ratings from various legal organizations.

      I mean the school board is just citizens. So you’d have to like… Dig. Spokeo or a PI. Both cost money.
