Bad link

Sorry about that! Here is the link to the page where each language is shown.

Its from the League of Women Voters, voting guide. If anyone has an issue with them calling themselves non-partisan, please take it up with them, not me. Whatever you think of them, it's a good summary of every candidate in the area.

EDIT: I haven't seen any good endorsements, but I'd probably give capability edge to Jakobs for ACC Trustee Place 6, but he appears to be quite liberal on his Campaign FB page .

Agree with you that Virden is the best choice for Austin Mayor. Unfortunately she has little chance to win because Austin is, well Austin. But yes, I am voting for her. Hopefully Watson will at least be an improvement over Adler.

Does anyone know who the conservative Leander ISD school board candidates are that have a chance at winning? I don't want to waste a vote and split the conservative vote if two are running for the same seat. Yes, I'm being lazy.

Thank you for posting.

I really appreciate your response. We've already put one of our two girls in private school and will likely have them both in private next year. So much for the thousand's of dollars we spend on property taxes!

Save Austin Now announced their endorsement for Austin City Council Place 3 of Esala Wueschner.

Him and Yvonne Weldon are worth considering for that position.

I'd consider Watson the lesser of the two evils. So that's who I'll be voting for.
