The results are in! In collaboration with Spot.us, we surveyed 135 prominent local politicians and political organizations to find out how they want to you vote, and the consensus on the ballot propositions is: yes, no, yes, no, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. (Don’t remember what the props are? Here’s your official voter’s info pamphlet.)
But that doesn’t mean, obviously, that you SHOULD vote that way. Instead, you need to look at who, specifically, endorsed each measure; and then go with the side that has the most number of names that you trust. Neither the Appeal nor Spot.Us is endorsing anything in this series – just compiling what others have endorsed.
Of course, there are still some people and organizations missing from this list. That’s because we prioritized endorsers in and around San Francisco; and when it came time to broaden our search scope, we just plain darn ran out of money. Oh well!

Due to a last-minute oversight, we tragically neglected to include endorsements from our pal Greg Dewar. You can read his endorsements here, and you should — they are an excellent explanation of a variety of races, written by an individual who really knows his Ps and Qs when it comes to local politics.
