Do you research candidates? What sites do you use?

Yep, used that site for the local stuff to trace back candidate histories and how they answered questions. If you're ever a candidate for anything, be sure to make some effort to fill some of that stuff out, as people are looking for something to work with. A blank profile with no idea of who you are vs. someone who has at least a line or two makes a big difference. These non-political party positions are hard enough to make choices, we need more than a name to work with.

Also, a huge help on the amendment side. I had no clue which way to go until I got some decent background on what the point was, and who had pushed for it to be on the ballot. Follow the money.

Always follow the money. Great advice.
