Ballot arrived Friday. Looking through all the candidates. VPIRG has a list of links to candidates' platforms.
Peter Becker; Independent. His website contains several rants: one against "partisan politics", though much of his ire is reserved for Democrats; one that claims COVID-19 only kills the unhealthy; one against the Democrats for instituting the national income tax 100 years ago; and one that claims racism is this election year's "trendy topic".
Miriam Berry; Republican. Candidate's campaign website appears to be their personal blog. There is an "Issues" page that only discusses education. The main page touches on other issues, but only briefly.
Christopher Helali; Communist. Website outlines 3 themes: Peace, Equality, and Socialism.
Marcia Horne; Independent. Website has a lot of links to various opinions, but there doesn't appear to be any kind of organization to it, so one is left with the impression of a 20-point plan where some of the headings are things like "Interested in the numbers?" and "Actually -- Switzerland is a Democracy".
Shawn Orr; Independent. Zero web presence for the campaign.
Jerry Trudell; Independent. Website is just a bunch of videos with no extended text descriptions. From the short text, looks like he doesn't like the F-35s.
Peter Welch; Democratic. Website's "Issues" menu has 14 items to choose from. I understand that a candidate may want answers to constituent questions about their positions on many different topics, but can a single person really promise to focus on 14 issues in a single two-year term? Then again, maybe what we're really electing is Peter Welch's ability to hire and manage his staff.
