Elections

It's that time of year again. Early voting is already underway, and those of us who pay literally any attention to local politics are frequently asked by the rest of the world for whom they should vote. 

Please share with us you're voting for and why. You may also list the people you would vote for if you lived in their districts. Do not refer in any way to to any candidates you are not supporting. You're free to critique the candidates through comments on other posts or by posting your own blog entry. In fact, you're strongly encouraged to do so! 

This is a special-rules post, which means we will remove any comments that do not follow the rules above.

And I can't say I disagree with them much. (But I do have some quibbles. More about that when we post our annual Endorsements Thread soon.) Here's an overview of their picks (which you already know if you follow us on Twitter): 

• Chapel Hill Town Council: Sally Greene, Ed Harrison, Maria Palmer, George Cianciolo
• CHCCS School Board: James Barett, Michelle Brownstein, Andrew Davidson
• Carrboro Board of Alderpeople: Randee Haven-O'Donnell, Jacquie Gist, Sammy Slade
• Hillsborough Town Board: Kathleen Ferguson, Jennifer Weaver 

To learn more about all these folks see our spreadsheet of candidates at orangepolitics.org/elections-2013/candidates 

I love that the Indy now posts the full text of the candidate questionnares. Those things take a LOT of work to complete.
