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?

    It’s really hard to tell, without living in your area, and knowing where they will debate. I’d say thats the first stop, is any debate they have. If they have no party, and have no debates, and have no info online, then it almost seems like it’s intentionally confusing.

    If I were running for government, I’d be on the mountain tops yelling my positions. I’d be at every debate.

    I’d be on your streets, figuring out what to do. Talking with the people. Seeing what public opinion is. Finding out where the local problems are.

    If none of that is happening, I would write to both your candidates by hand delivered usps mail, asking why their motivation is to encourage voter apathy.

    If I don’t know, and can’t figure out who you are, or what you stand for, or what your beliefs are, why the hell am I voting for you??? It’s the same reason I shoot down the idea that Dwayne THE ROCK Johnson should be president. I have no idea what his beliefs or stance on anything is. Part of that is the fact that he’s not a politician, nor has he ever hinted at it to my knowledge. He has no reason to state his political standings, and that’s fine. He’s NOT on any ballot. If people write him in, it was never his responsibility to live up to their expectations. Yet, I still people online saying him, and snoop dogg.

    THEY don’t have any responsibility to tell you their beliefs, as despite being celebrities they are still just average citizens…but actively running local politicians do. If they can’t tell you what their vision for their terms in office are, then what the hell are you even voting for? May as well just post pictures of your pets and get votes for cute dogs, but /c/aww exists for that.
