Blue Voter Guide (creates your personal voter guides)

 

Central City Democrats Endorsement Page

 

Blue Voter Guide (bluevoterguide.org) is a free online tool that creates personalized voter guides to help people quickly see what's on their ballot and make informed choices — especially those aligned with pro-democracy, pro-working-family, and progressive/"Blue" values.Official Tagline & Mission“Vote Fast, Smart, and Blue”
It helps you make “informed, pro-democracy, and pro-working-family choices” by showing:

• Every candidate and ballot measure on your specific ballot
• Endorsements from “trusted, forward-looking organizations” that support a “Blue, pro-democracy, forward-looking, working-family and people-centered agenda”

How It Works (super simple)

1. Enter your address (it’s not saved or shared — used only to build your guide).
2. It instantly shows your full ballot (federal, statewide, state legislature, and local races in most areas).
3. You see clear endorsements from progressive, labor, environmental, and pro-democracy groups.
4. Save, print, or share your completed guide.

Who Runs It?

• It’s run entirely by volunteers (a long list of individuals is named on the About page).
• Ballot data comes from a neutral, non-partisan nonprofit that uses only official government sources.
• The site itself is not neutral — it explicitly filters and highlights endorsements that match a progressive/Democratic-leaning agenda. No individual politician endorsements are included, only organizations.

Yes on Measure D Increases to Business Tax Based on Comparison of Top Executive’s Pay to Employees’ Pay

Prop D places a small surcharge on large corporations whose top executives earn more than 100 times the median salary of their workers. Only companies with over 1,000 employees and more than $1,000,000,000 in revenue—truly the biggest corporations—whose CEOs make over one hundred times the median salary of their employees will pay this surcharge as part.
