2018 Voter Guide

This guide aims to be a complete list of leftist recommendations for every race on your November 6th ballot. It is being assembled by a volunteer group of DSA members in Ventura County frustrated at the lack of information and guidance on local races, and with the difficulty of finding out who and what each candidate really represents. The recommendations here are based on careful research by individual members, and do not constitute chapter endorsements except where noted. It is not yet complete, but we will continue adding recommendations up until Election Day. We hope you find it useful as you fill out your ballot in the spirit of Rebecca Solnit: ”I think of voting as a chess move, not a valentine.“ See you at the polls, then, just as importantly, in the streets. With your help, we can bring to birth a new world.

– Democratic Socialists of America, Ventura County

NOTE: The following are good-faith recommendations based on research by individual chapter members, they do not constitute official DSA-VC endorsements except where specifically stated.
