Advocacy scorecards and endorsements

6 guides

These guides advocate for a viewpoint. They score legislators or endorse candidates from a stated point of view. They’re here so you can find them easily and read them with that in mind. Listing a guide is not an endorsement, and inclusion does not depend on which side a guide takes.

No advocacy guides match these filters.

How to research your vote

1

Check your ballot first. Look up your address on VoteMT to see the exact races and measures you will vote on.

2

Read more than one guide. Two guides on the same race often ask different questions and reach different readers.

3

Note who published it. A newsroom questionnaire and a union endorsement list are both useful, and they are not the same thing.

Browse by issue or publisher

The same guides, grouped two ways: by the issues they cover, and by the kind of organization that published them.

By issue
