  • Nov 7, 2022 Updated Nov 26, 2022

The Star put together a set of tools to make it easier to learn more about the candidates as you fill out your ballot.

In the guide below, you can find videos of interviews with candidates for Congress, the state Legislature, and local school boards. You can read written responses, unedited and as submitted to the Star, to a questionnaire we sent to candidates. If you want to see the company each candidate keeps, we compiled a lengthy list of endorsements.

We also included links to relevant news articles, as well as guest opinions that candidates wrote for the Star's opinion pages.

We will update the guide regularly. If you have any questions, please email staropinions@tucson.com.
