Our Voter Guide is a valuable way to learn about the candidates on your ballot in the Nov. 5 election.

The Voter Guide contains the candidates’ answers to a handful of core questions, entirely in their own words. Not all candidates responded to our questionnaire.

Our reporters have written deeper analytical stories, hitting more detailed issues in each race, and those have published on the Elections section of our website.

Our coverage only spotlights competitive races - not ones where a candidate is running unopposed.
