Tomorrow is the deadline for the parties to certify their lists of candidates. We have received what we believe are the final lists from the Green and Libertarian Parties. We have requested a list of independent candidates who filed their declarations of candidacy with the Secretary of State but have not received it. We expect to have any final adjustments to our Crib Sheets completed by Thursday.
Since our last update a week ago, we have not seen any “new” major party candidates. We have received what we believe are final lists from the Green and Libertarian Parties. We are waiting on the list of independent candidates from the Secretary of State. Tomorrow is the deadline for parties to submit their lists of certified candidates to the Secretary of State. We expect to have our Crib Sheets locked down sometime on Thursday, barring unforeseen holiday closures.
