CHVL 2010 Election/Candidate Information
CHVL has two types of information about candidates for this year's general election:
the Ballot Buddy and
election summary files.
The Ballot Buddy is a brief PDF form that you can print and use
as a reference when you fill out your ballot. There is a Ballot Buddy for each of the seven congressional
districts in Colorado. For each race that CHVL tracked that is within, or partially within, that congressional
district’s boundaries, the Ballot Buddy identifies "Pro-Animal Picks" and "Paws Down" candidates and provides
questionnaire and voting scores that we have for any candidates.
Note: For Congressional races, the Ballot Buddy provides CHVL's most recent candidate questionnaire scores
and our voting scores for candidates who have previous voting records as state legislators. The Ballot Buddy also
provides recent Congressional voting scores as a national advocacy group determined them. We did not track
federal votes or send federal questionnaires for 2009-2010.
There is an election summary file (in PDF) for the state Senate
and one for the state House of Representatives. Each file is organized by district and contains
candidate contact information (if we have it), questionnaire scores, average voting scores for any
candidates who have voting records with CHVL, and indications of any "Pro-Animal Picks" and "Paws Down"
ratings for the race.
