Lists of Recommended local Politicians to vote for

[bzam99]

In some states there are lists put out by the local rabbanim/askanim on who to vote for. Most people know which president but not down to the local politicians and judges and local policies.  Please post here for each county/state! Will be a tremendous toeles harabim.

Attached is Baltimore MD.

LAKEWOOD Voting Recommendations - this is from the vaad. of course others will have a slightly different list. If you are holding and have a preference who to vote for - go for it. But there are literally thousands who have no clue, so for them use these lists.

The more aligned we are in our voting the more the politicians care about our preferences.

That would apply to maybe the top two recommendations on the list. With regard to the local politicians its a totally different equation. If you don't know and/or don't care about any local issue (like for example, maybe you love spending 30 minutes in your car for what should be a 5 minute drive) then please don't vote for anyone. Why have your ignorant vote cancel out the vote of someone who does care?

What are you refering to? Which vote could fix that?

That was just a random example. The point is that the Township Committee directly controls many aspects of the quality of life in Lakewood. If you think the QOL is great (like maybe you enjoy the quality time you get to spend with yourself in your car), vote for the people who have been providing that to you for the past 20 years. If you think the QOL can be better, maybe think about not voting for those who have been there for 20 years. But either way, don't just follow a list for no reason. If you have no opinions and no knowledge than please just don't vote. Instead of cancelling out the votes of people who do care one way or the other.

Was I vague enough?

ETA: The BOE directly controls the bulk of the property taxes that you pay. There is ongoing litigation that can have a massive impact on those numbers. If you like paying lots of property taxes (like maybe you have too much money lying around and you would rather it go to the BOE than to anyone else) , then by all means, vote for the people who wont support that ongoing litigation. If you think having more money in your pocket is a good thing, then vote for the people who are running on a platform specifically to support this litigation (hint: its called "fix the formula"). But either way don't just follow a list for no reason. If you have no opinions and no knowledge than please just don't vote. Instead of cancelling out the votes of people who do care one way or the other.

Schumer, speaker Johnson and minority leader Hakeem Jeffries are more familiar with the rebbes at this point than most of us.
