I’ve never heard of these candidates, they have no party affiliation, and there’s almost no information about them online that I can find.

Are those positions just for people who work closely with those departments to vote on?

    In my neck of the literal woods this has become an incredibly simplistic exercise. It used to be that I’d take the time to research their positions on specific issues… sometime even calling them up and asking questions. What party they belonged to was not always a reliable indicator of this so it was worth taking the time. But these days, where I live, we’re lucky to get even one candidate who is not a mouth breathing MAGA cult member.

    So I just look up their voter registration and political contributions.

      Same issues in my neck of the woods. Since they all feel the same why I tend to pick the ones that at least talk to (some) residents.
