Hi everyone! I've been voting in the Bay Area since 2012, and every election I keep a spreadsheet to track the endorsements of my trusted voter guides and more recently I've started sharing it with friends. 

The spreadsheet:

Over the years, a lot of friends have since moved to different places around the Bay, so this year I turned the spreadsheet into a site that covers all 9 Bay Area counties: https://bayballot.com

For each contest it shows:

• which guides endorse which side, and how many
• each guide's reasoning in its own words, with a link to the source
• a filter for the kinds of guides you trust (newspapers, parties, clubs, unions, advocacy groups, civic groups)

Bay Ballot has 39 voter guides in Alameda county and 118 voter guides across all 9 Bay Area counties. It checks the guides for updates every day.

It makes no endorsements of its own and isn't affiliated with any guide or campaign. It's free, with no ads or accounts, and the code is open source.

If you spot a mistake or see a guide that's missing, tell me here or email [corrections@bayballot.com](mailto:corrections@bayballot.com).

This has been a really fun personal project, and I'd love to keep it up for future elections if you all find it useful!

Looking to expand from Clio’s!

My CSA sends carrots every week, and we don't go through them fast enough. At this point there are six bunches of carrots in the fridge. Is there a place in Oakland/Berkeley that will take them? Food bank, animal rescue, someone addicted to carrot juice?

Hey Oakland!

I'm an adult woman looking for a basketball trainer or adult clinic to level up my game. I'd consider myself an intermediate player, and my main goals right now are improving my shooting form/consistency and shot creation.

A few details on what I'm looking for:

• Location: Oakland or East Bay preferred, but willing to travel around the Bay Area for the right trainer/group.
• Format: Open to both 1-on-1 coaching and group training/clinics.
• Trainer Preference: Strongly prefer working with a female trainer/coach if possible!

Does anyone have local trainer recommendations, programs, or adult clinics they've had a great experience with? Appreciate any leads!
