As of 9am today, early voting in the May 2014 primary election is underway. That means it's time for the annual OrangePolitics endorsement thread where we ask you, if you feel so inclined, to share with the community who you are voting for (or would vote for) and why.
Here is our list of all of the candidates with links to their websites and social media. You can also review all the information about this year's races that we have here on OP, including:
As always, this is a special-rules post. The rules: Only write who you're voting for (and why, if you like). You may also list the people you would vote for if you lived in their districts. Do not refer in any way to to any candidates you are not supporting. If you don't follow the rules, your comment will be removed. You're free to critique the candidates through comments on other posts or by posting your own blog entry. In fact, you're warmly invited to do so!

When
the INDY asked me what were my thoughts on the budget of the Sheriff’s office,
this is how I responded:
That
the sheriff’s department is not as efficient and up-to-date technologically as
it could be is one place where efficiency is compromised and money is
wasted. After the various reforms I
intend to make within the administration and upgrades to the technology, we
should see less money spent on various (often duplicated) administrative
tasks.
