The Greens’ endorsement policy explained: 

For many of the candidates’ races, we created questionnaires for the candidates and solicited their responses.  

For others we conducted over-the-phone or in-person interviews.  

We also gathered information from Greens and others working on issues in their communities and from the public record.  

For local measures we gathered information as comprehensively as possible.  

The Green Party of Alameda County held endorsement meetings to consider all the information and make decisions.  

In cases in which we list “No endorsement” we had unresolved differences that prevented us from agreeing on a position.  

We only endorse bond measures for essential public projects that are unlikely to be funded otherwise.  

Our endorsement “Yes, with standard bond reservations” reflects our position that funding through bonds is more costly and therefore less fiscally responsible than a tax.
