At FTWtoday, we aim to cover local elections in a way that educates and activates our community with unbiased information to encourage individual voter participation. (I.e. vote for whoever + whatever you want to, just make sure to vote.) To learn more, check out our Editorial Ethics Policy.
Tuesday, Nov. 5 is the big day — aka Election Day — and we’ve done the googling so you don’t have to.
