Wisconsin isn’t the only place that is having spring elections.
Here in Champaign, Illinois we have elections, too.
- Mayor
- City Council
- Park District Commissioner
- School District
- Community College Trustees
- Regional School Board Trustees
I have no idea who to vote for, and I don’t have time to do all the research. I hate these stupid “non-partisan” elections.
Even the mayor’s race isn’t simple (as in vote for the Democrat) and they don’t fucking list the party on the ballot.
For mayor, I could vote for Democrat who was mayor until 2015, but he is a sexist pig who told all sorts of lies and crazy stories about his (now former) girlfriend/partner, or I can vote the for Republican who I knew for years from the farmer’s market, and I liked her a lot as a person until I realized she was a Republican when she ran for Judge quite a few years ago. She is pro-choice and she has been our mayor since 2015. But vote for a Republican? Ugh. I understand from a jackal who also lives here that she has a good VoteBuilder score, but I have no idea what the hell a VoteBuilder score even is.

So let’s use this thread for anyone to talk about, ask about, and share about their local races. Surely there are jackals that who are more tuned in to local races who can help the rest of us?
I’ll link this in the sidebar for easy reference and continued conversation over the next 30 days before the elections.
