Ballotpedia is fantastic for most of our elections as the summaries are well done and accurate. If you can’t read legalese, you’ll love their amendment, etc summaries.
Yep, used that site for the local stuff to trace back candidate histories and how they answered questions. If you’re ever a candidate for anything, be sure to make some effort to fill some of that stuff out, as people are looking for something to work with. A blank profile with no idea of who you are vs. someone who has at least a line or two makes a big difference. These non-political party positions are hard enough to make choices, we need more than a name to work with.
Also, a huge help on the amendment side. I had no clue which way to go until I got some decent background on what the point was, and who had pushed for it to be on the ballot. Follow the money.

Always follow the money. Great advice.
