Look, we get it. The November midterm ballot is long and complicated and filling it out can be a daunting task.

To help, we've combed through voter guides from six local organizations that span the political spectrum to show you how they're voting on state and local propositions.

They include:

  • SF Democratic Party
  • SF Republican Party
  • League of Pissed Off Voters: A non-partisan group of volunteers who raise money to print its guide through a general purpose recipient committee. Its goal is to build "a progressive governing majority in [its] lifetime."
  • GrowSF: A political action committee that "pursues common sense solutions to create a San Francisco that works for everyone."
  • SPUR: "Nonprofit public policy organization … develop[ing] solutions to the big problems cities face."
  • And, the SF Chronicle editorial board

And, here are their endorsements:
