The "Green Voter Guide", published by the Green Party of Alameda County

by GPAC
The Green Party of Alameda County's 16-page voter guide is here: https://acgreens.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/gpac-vg-11-24-web-fnl.pdf

For a quick summary, please see the "Green Voter Card" copied below.

Please note: Many of the links to websites in the online Voter Guide are “clickable”, when you place your cursor over them (the URL’s might not look clickable, but for most computers, they do work when you click on them). Also, for many of the local races you’ll find lots of additional information in the candidates’ completed questionnaires, so we strongly encourage you to read them on our website, at: https://acgreens.wordpress.com/candidate-questionnaires/
