\"homework\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The ballots are here and it’s time to vote in the Boulder municipal election. But first, educate yourself about the who and the what. As in past elections, the Blue Line<\/em> has pulled together the resources to help you do your homework before casting your vote.<\/p>\n

The Community Questionnaire<\/h1>\n
\"query\"<\/a>

Use the query utility on our election page to read the candidates\u2019 answers. Click on this image to take you there.<\/p><\/div>\n

Research the candidates’ positions on dozens of issues, identified by dozens of community organizations, with our Community Questionnaire tool. Find out who does and doesn’t support 300 and 301, where the candidates land on occupancy limits, who supports municipalization, how they intend to reach underrepresented voters, whether dogs and bikes should have more access to open space, what they think about Boulder Junction, how they might help seniors age in place and lots of other issues. Give it a try<\/a>\u2014it’s kinda fun.<\/p>\n

Candidate Profiles<\/h1>\n
\"Reporter<\/a>

Reporter Brittany Anas<\/p><\/div>\n

We engaged former Daily Camera<\/em> reporter Brittany Anas to write profiles of each of the candidates, with instructions to find out more about the candidates’ backgrounds, what brought them to Boulder and what motivates them. Check out the profiles by clicking on a link in the table below. And, if you haven’t already, read reporter Erica Meltzer’s excellent articles about her walkabouts with the candidates in the Daily Camera<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

Support the Blue Line<\/h1>\n

In the 5 years since we launched the Blue Line<\/em>, we have hosted over 1000 posts by 150 authors from the Boulder community. We\u2019re pretty proud of how far we\u2019ve come as an all-volunteer, non-profit organization. We try to offer fresh, relevant content, and we\u2019re very excited about the election coverage we\u2019re providing this year. But we can\u2019t do it all without your support.<\/p>\n

How can you help?<\/p>\n
