Integrity Matters does not support endorsing candidates as we believe that practice is riddled with flaws, but we very much support identifying truths and raising red flags so voters can make fully informed decisions. Among those red flags are:  refusal to answer a survey known to be challenging, voting records, and developer and/or dark money donations.  We will flag all of those which we believe helps us all make the best choices possible.

Only half the candidates running responded to our survey.  They will still get a page with any information, in addition to running from tough questions, which could be helpful.  Like any product one buys, political candidates should come with warning labels which we provide.  This may be one of the most important purchases we collectively make.  We encourage everyone to use your social media, email and voices to help everyone stay informed and make good choices for us all.  

Check back for a summary of the campaign finances.  We believe there should be weekly reporting.  Email Sarah Johnson to let her know.  There's a lag in what is reported.  In addition to concerns we have about straw or pass through donations, which are illegal, the developers can and will come in late so the voters don't really see just how egregious their financial influence is.  We proposed an ordinance to limit campaign donations and force auto-recusal. for any land use decision with a developer or their employees/lobbyists giving more than $250.
