I’ve never heard of these candidates, they have no party affiliation, and there’s almost no information about them online that I can find.

Are those positions just for people who work closely with those departments to vote on?

    Everyone else gave good advice. Also, if you have a group you support, like the ACLU or the EFF, they often have recommendations.

      This works particularly well if you’re mostly a single issue voter. If you’re about the environment above all else, for instance, the Sierra Club’s recommendations are pretty solid. If it’s guns, guns and only guns, the NRA is your group.

      For small local races you might have to do some homework yourself though, Sierra Club doesn’t always discuss who is running for your local school board.

      They’ll usually have a website and other online presences that’ll let you get a sense for what they stand for. If its a really, really small community, maybe just send them an email or phone call and ask them.
