News and Media

These listings include every media item across all positions.

All Media Items

Questionnaires

Advocacy groups often publish questionnaires that allow you to compare candidates side by side. Pay careful attention to how questions are framed, and how this reflects the positions and philosophies of the advocacy groups.

Articles and News Items

Articles can highlight issues of importance to the election and the electorate. These items are (mostly) published by established news organizations.

Candidate Profiles

Candidate profiles allow you to read responses from different candidates side by side. They allow you to compare candidates based on their backgrounds and experiences. Often they will not tell you how candidates would address specific issues.

Opinions, Endorsements, and Group Discussions

Opinions, blog posts and discussions can be partisan, but sometimes can be helpful in bringing attention to election issues.

Sometimes discussions on forums like Reddit can give you a range of opinions about candidates and campaign issues.

Some opinions take the form of endorsement lists which explicitly recommend candidates to vote for. Again, be aware of the partisan nature of such endorsements, and carefully consider how the endorsers reached their conclusions. You will also want to look at our media inclusion philosophy page for information about what endorsements are officially allowed.
