Here are my current recommendations in ballot order.
For more details, read my full posts on propositions and on candidates.
On the whole, I’ve found fewer candidates to be excited about than in past years, and lots of races where I’m finding it hard to come to a decision. I’d love to hear feedback from friends in the next week before the election!
