While every presidential election is serious business, this particular election strikes many of us as singularly fateful for the future of the country – and especially for children and families.
In addition to the decision of who will lead the country for the next four years, our ballots are full of other important races and measures, several of which can cause confusion. If you need help weighing the pros and cons of ballot measures – particularly Oregon residents! – consider the recommendations of these groups that have the welfare of children at the forefront:
Children First For Oregon
Stand for Children
The League of Women Voters also provides excellent guides for both Oregon and Washington.
If you’ve found additional helpful organizations or resources, let us know about them. Happy voting!
