Well, it is primary season. And, as a registered democrat, I offer local democrats the following advisory choices. Please note that I have not supported any candidate, proposition or measure on the ballot in any such way, either financially or through volunteer work. My choices below reflect my personal opinions and shouldn't be construed as an official endorsement. (I just wanted to get these things cleared before I have to file with the FEC.)
