Consult Nonpartisan Sources for Candidate and Issue Profiles
Several nonpartisan online resources will provide you with a comprehensive look at candidates’ backgrounds and stances on policies and issue areas. Many of these resources also offer background information on possible ballot questions, such as amendments to state constitutions. Because some websites may have more comprehensive information for your desired locality, candidate, or issue than others, it is best to use multiple sources to gain as much insight as possible.
