We had hoped to provide a voter guide for our members this year, but life got in the way of our all volunteer organization. Relocations, work demands, illness, and other challenges prevented our Indivisible chapter from pulling this together.
While as a team we were unable to complete this, Doug Porter, who has led the Voter Guide efforts for our chapter, was still able to do his amazing work. Indivisible San Diego Persist is not making endorsements this year. But we are happy to refer you to Doug’s research. He will also be producing his own voter guide, including endorsements, that is scheduled to be published on his blog, Words and Deeds, this Monday October 10. Be sure to sign up for his newsletter.
