The League of Young Voters also released their voter guide for the June election. It’s an interesting one, for a couple reasons.

First, they make a point about Prop E I hadn’t seen emphasized before:

In addition, all current commissioners will be booted out on August 1 unless they can approved under the new criteria. Tow of the existing commissioners look like the fit the new frame- one’s a solar guy and one’s got some crazy public utilities background. The other two have bios that seem to be more about political connections than PUC experience, so it looks like E would kick them out and put 3 board-approved folks in.

It’s great to see them break down the effect on the current members. I’d still like to see some board-appointed members of the PUC, but this seems like a little step forward.

The other innovative part of this guide is their matrix. They took the issues that mattered to the League and rated all the DCCC candidates on the basis of how their positions matched up. This is usually part of the process, but you rarely see this kind of stuff up front. I think it’s a good step toward opening up the process to the League members. Along with posting candidates’ questionnaires online, this kind of openness will build stronger organizations, I think, since it emphasizes positions over who knows who.
