2020 Candidate Guide for St. John's County, FL Election
About this site
This is Phil's guide to voting in local St. John's County, FL elections. As I research the candidates on my own ballot, I will publish my notes here.
My motivation for publishing this is to help inform other voters in St John's County / St. Augustine, FL on local elections. This site will be focused on the local races, not on national elections. It will be especially focused on non-partisan races.
Why:
Like every election, I received my mail-in ballot and found a list of names I didn't recognize. I started searching online to try to find out about each race and each candidate so I could make a reasonably informed decision, but found it difficult to find relevant information online.
This year, I decided I would publish my findings and how I made my decision, in case it's helpful for other voters.
Am I the most informed voter in St. John's County? Nope. But I think I researched a lot more than the average voter, and given how little information is easily found online when searching for candidates names, hopefully this site is helpful as a starting point for some voters.
I welcome polite/civil feedback at [email protected].
