Ballot research should be easy. It isn't — info is scattered across a dozen sites, half outdated. So I built localcandidates.org. Ohio 2026 is now live: US Senate + all 15 House districts. Compare candidates, positions, fundraising, backgrounds. Free, non-partisan, no ads, no signup. Solo-built. Feedback welcome.

VA's redistricting amendment is on the ballot. Early voting is open. Election day is April 21. We broke down what's on the ballot, what yes/no means, projected outcomes, and what both sides are saying. localcandidates.org/offices/…

We just shipped a big update to Local Candidates. Enter your Virginia address → see your 2026 ballot, candidates, reps, and districts. Federal and state. Each candidate profile pulls together what's publicly available — funding, endorsements, positions. Virginia's redistricting ballot initiative on April 21 could redraw congressional districts. We're tracking it. localcandidates.org

Just added campaign finance data for Virginia's 2026 congressional candidates. See who's raising what, where the money's coming from, and which employers are funding each candidate — all sourced from the FEC. Look up your district → localcandidates.org

The current mayhem in Congress is like technology’s impact on political media: chaotic, loud, and a poor reflection of American values. Surely, we can do better.

Election information is scattered and disorganized. Our government isn't going to solve this problem — and both sides know it. But if government won't fix our politics, civic tech could help. My post in C-VILLE: Why Civic Tech is Critical for Democracy c-ville.com/plugging-in

Early voting in Charlottesville begins May 5th. View local candidates and elections here: localcandidates.org/
