With today being Election Day, for those of you who have not already voted, here is a list of candidates running for office who have been supportive of Represent Us’s democracy reform efforts.
The MoreChoice San Diego coalition (of which Represent San Diego was a partner) reached out numerous times via phone and email to get a firm response from every candidate on the ballot in San Diego. Those not listed have declined to support the Coalition’s goals or respond to their efforts.
I want to stress that those listed in this election voting guide are candidates that are not necessarily endorsed by Represent Us, but they have some of the same values and have been supportive of Represent San Diego’s goals. So if you want to return the favor and be supportive of them, here’s the election voting guide to do just that.
