Update: Since I originally posted this item, the Rhino Times has made endorsements for the Greensboro City Council and the Republican Primaries. These endorsements cannot be taken at face value but can be considered along with other sources of information.
I urge voting AGAINST the school bond and the sales tax increase.
I will not be recommending specific candidates for all these races; but I want to share several sources of information.
There are a couple of entities making endorsements I would suggest voters consult in order to get perspectives from some who have evaluated the candidates:
- North Carolina Grassroots Government
This organization has ambitiously looked at races throughout the state, but has races listed for Guilford County in which it has endorsed. I know some of the people involved with this effort, and they are trustworthy. This is a constitutionally conservative effort.
2. Take Back Our Schools
This organization endorses school board candidates; and seeks to transform our school board which has had numerous issues over the years.
3. North Carolina Values Coalition
This organization has an iVoter Guide. It has made certain endorsements, but be mindful that its endorsements might conflict with those offered by NC Grassroots Government; and their endorsements have sometimes been GOP establishment.
4. Triad City Beat
This is a local left-wing publication that must be disregarded from the standpoint of its policy stances and the manner in which it sways the news. But it has a web page that summarizes the candidates we will be choosing, and provides some background information, even if its orientation is far left wing. Just disregard the way they tilt things, and evaluate the candidates in conjunction with the other sources above.
The Guilford County Election Republican primary ballot is found here.
