Sometimes I feel under-informed about world and local politics.  I have many reasons for this.  Whether it is because I’m busy with my kids and family or because it seems very overwhelming and scary for me, a lot of times I just tune it out.  I realize that I need to make it a priority to understand what is happening in the world including following the upcoming presidential election.

I have found a quick quiz to help find some candidates that have ideas that align with yours.

You can answer a few questions and it will give you the best suited candidate for you.  You can then email your results to your friends and family to encourage them to seek out more information, too.

I won’t tell you who came up as my candidate, because I don’t want to influence anyone else.  However I can tell you that his name rhymes with Shmarock Nolama.

Note: Here’s another one I found:
