New York City election endorsements (ballot proposals and judges)

New York City election endorsements (ballot proposals and judges)
I blogged my research into the six ballot measures and 29 judicial candidates for the 2025 New York City general election. I don't think there's any other non-paywalled source that collates the different local bar associations' evaluations of the candidates in the 7 competitive judicial elections; my post includes possibly the first publication of the Queens County Bar Associations ratings, as I think neither QCBA nor local media have published them yet. I also met some of the judicial candidates and incorporated my impressions of them into my recommendations.

I don't live in New York so this doesn't directly benefit me, but it is OUTSTANDING work and a fantastic example of one way we can help each other and our communities vote more (for those of us who don't vote every time) and vote better.

Thank you for this, brainwane - I hope it gets a lot of readers over the voting period.
