CALIFORNIA — Today, Courage California launched its 2020 General Election Courage California Voter Guide, a first-of-its-kind down-ballot, multi-issue guide detailing recommendations on how to VOTE for a California, and nation, that works for everyone.
The Courage California Voter Guide aggregates the insights and endorsements of California’s most trusted statewide and regional advocacy groups and organizations to develop multi-issue recommendations for a more representative democracy reflecting the values of Californians, down the ballot.
The 2020 Courage California General Election Voter Guide offers recommendations including:
- All Congressional, State Senate, and State Assembly races
- Recommendations for select local races
- Statewide Ballot Measures
- Select local Ballot Measures
Courage California’s Primary Election voter guide covered 193 races and propositions — the Courage California General Election Voter Guide covers a total of 253 races and propositions. In addition to expanded coverage, the 2020 General Election Voter Guide is more in-depth, including information to help voters:
- understand what their elected officials are responsible for.
- understand local priorities and voting patterns in their district.
- follow the money and understand key financial backers in a race.
- identify and break down misinformation around statewide propositions and local ballot measures.
“California needs a straightforward and trusted resource that provides people with essential information on statewide and local races and propositions. Political power is concentrated in the hands of too few individuals and corporations that do not have the interests of our broader communities in mind. Voters deserve to understand the roles and responsibilities of the various elected offices and how ballot measures will truly affect them and their communities,” said Irene Kao, Executive Director of Courage California. “The 2020 Courage California General Election Voter Guide is the solution for those who want to cut through the misinformation, corporate financed campaigns, and hold our elected officials accountable to the same standards. With Courage, we can elect champions that represent our values and create a democracy that works for all Californians.”
The Courage California Voter Guide comes ahead of the 2020 General Election on November 3rd.
