The Courage California Voter Guide, brought to you by Courage California (formerly Courage Campaign), helps you evaluate candidates and measures from a progressive perspective so you can make decisions at the ballot box you can trust.
We live in California too, and we know how overwhelming a ballot here can be. You want to make sure that you have the information you need to pick the best candidates for your community, and make the right choices on ballot measures. But it can be hard to know where to go for reliable information.
That's where the Courage California Voter Guide comes in. We combine the endorsements of California’s leading progressive organizations with our expert knowledge and research about candidates and ballot measures to give you recommendations on hundreds of races state-wide all in one easy to use site.
The Progressive Voters Guide is powered by Courage California and includes endorsements from the following partners:
