Since January of this year, we’ve published more than 50 pieces about elections in our area — how they work, how to participate, what’s motivating local voters and much more.
We’ve tracked down dark money behind political campaigns. We’ve challenged misinformation and investigated whether the claims in candidates’ ads are true. As presidential candidates make repeated visits to the region, trying to lock down swing state voters, we’ve relentlessly focused on finding the truth amid the noise and elevating the voices of our community.
Our entire editorial team has contributed to this content, showing how the issues at stake in the election intersect with your daily life — from your health to your pocketbook.
Every story is fact-checked.
Every story includes a variety of voices.
Every story is produced by people who live here and care deeply about our region.
Every story supports democracy, from the local level on up.
And every story is made possible by support from readers like you.
