As the election approaches, two publications will provide Progressives in Berkeley with detailed research and information slanted toward Progressive values -- the San Francisco Bay Guardian, and the Green Party of Alameda County Voter Guide. The Townley campaign recommends both of these sources (which do not always agree with each other) for those wishing to receive more information about the election in October.
