According to its website:
The League of Women Voters of California Education Fund conducts our voter service and citizen education activities. It is a 501(c)(3) corporation, a nonpartisan non-profit educational organization, which:
- Builds citizen participation in the democratic process.
- Studies key community issues at all government levels in an unbiased manner.
- Enables people to seek positive solutions to public policy issues through education and conflict management.
The League of Women Voters of California Education Fund has a website called Smart Voter ®. On that website, they have all the local San Bernardino County races in one place.
This is a good way for the candidates to put out information about their candidacy in a place that has the trappings of neutrality. Putting up a profile also works as good search engine optimization of the candidates main website. As of today, October 17, 2011, the following candidates have put up profiles at the site:
City of San Bernardino races
Third Ward Council Member Tobin Brinker;
Seventh Ward Challenger James L. “Jim” Mulvihill;
City Clerk Candidate Peggi Hazlett.
San Bernardino City Unified School District Candidates:
These are the only candidates that have completed profiles. It appears that all the candidates were invited to fill out profiles, and that it does not cost the candidate any money to submit the profiles.
