Here you’ll find the candidates running for the 2015 election in Riverside County.
Before your read about the recommendations, please take a minute to understand how the rating system works.
Rating System Explained
3 Thumbs Up = strongest endorsement for values voters
2 Thumbs Up = above average
1 Thumb Up = better than opponent. Some races are between candidates that you will disagree with. You may not want to vote for any of them, but at least a 1 star makes one candidate as better than the other. It’s the lesser of the two evils. 1 star is not really an endorsement.
- 0 Thumbs Up = no endorsement: We either oppose the candidates or have found no reason to support a candidate. If you don’t vote for a candidate or issue, all your other votes you make for other offices still count.
