My son has been reviewing Democratic candidate websites to try to figure out who he wants to vote for in the primary. The main thing he wants to know if candidates have an actual plan for addressing their core issues and what the outline of that plan is. His criteria is that the outline needs to be easily digestible in less than 10 minutes as most voters don’t have time available to peruse lengthy explanations.
So far he thinks Bobby Cole has the best website in that anyone can find what his plans are within minutes of accessing the site and they are readily digestible. His second favorite is Vikki Goodwin’s site. It takes a little more drilling to get to her plans, but they are there. (He thinks she should have a bullet list and a link to any background info for those who want to delve deeper into her background info.
The worst? Gina Hinojosa. She wants to be governor. She needs to share what her plans are. James Talarico’s site also completely lacks plans for tackling issues. All you really know about him is that he is deeply religious. How does that translate into plans? How does that appeal to people who are not deeply religious Christians or who don’t believe in Jesus Christ?

Thanks Nancy! Great outline. Using it to critique what I already have and will add/delete/change accordingly

Great outline Nancy! Actually it works pretty well even for a precinct chair!
The season doesn't really start still January 2nd. We should see a lot more well thought out websites by then. It's coming.
Thank you! I’m running for SBOE #7 and this is perfect.
