CCMC's Recommendations:
While it is not the intention of CCMC to tell anyone how to vote, we believe it is in the tradition of American journalism, since the founding of the United States, to endorse candidates that best represent the principles that a particular group stands for. Below you will find a list of solid candidates. Just as we have chosen - so must you. Do some homework on the candidates and issues and then vote on Tuesday, April 5th.

*** Though you can vote for three candidates it is strategic to vote for one candidate to avoid cancelling out your top choice.
