I hate to admit it, but most every year when I vote, I tend to vote a straight ticket... Democrat, in my case. Aside from the "big" races, like President, Mayor, and Governor, I don't do much research on the rest of the candidates/races. Though I identify with most democrat ideals and consider myself one, it's always made me a little uneasy voting for ALL democrats on a ballot without even knowing anything about the people I was voting for. So, this year, with the encouragement of my oh-so-perfect-civilian of a husband, I decided to educate myself. It was actually quite empowering and took only about 30-45 minutes of my time. The League of Women Voters Guide makes it incredibly easy! The guide lists all races (national & local), gives basic info about each candidate, and asks a few basic questions of them. You can click on the link below, select the voters guide for Harris County, and download it.
FYI... I am voting for a few Republicans, believe it or not. Sometimes when I couldn't decide on one candidate or the other, I would pick the one who just "looked" better for the job (based on their picture). I even picked one guy because he was so very yummy looking. :-)
Anyway, Happy Voting!!
