Humongous Grid of Endorsements: State Assembly, City Council, School Board, Special Districts, and Ballot Measures
Posted by Chris Nguyen on November 4, 2012
You may have seen my prior post entitled, “Republican? Democrat? Independent? The Partisan Affiliations of Everyone Running for Everything in Orange County.” In an effort to bring more information to voters, here is my humongous grid of endorsements, showing endorsements from the Democratic Party of Orange County, the Democratic Foundation of Orange County, the Orange County Register, the Republican Party of Orange County, the California Republican Assembly, the Lincoln Club of Orange County, Atlas PAC, and Family Action PAC.
Regrettably, I’ve been unable to find a comprehensive, countywide listing of chamber and union endorsements.
Also, some of these organizations endorsed in uncontested races. I excluded those from the grid.
