[quote=Anonymous]You're not alone. About 1/3 of voters in MoCo have no party affiliation. There's 3 areas you can focus on: 1. Board of Ed. It's non-partisan. Try to get reasonable candidates in, who aren't just union lackeys. 2. Referenda. This is how we got term limits for county council members (and people like Riemer and Berliner out); and limits on property tax increases (it now requires a unanimous vote) 3. Open primaries. This would be the biggest win, but I think it requires a state referendum, not sure. Related to #2, there are currently on term limits on county exec, so you could focus your efforts on that: https://moco360.media/2023/09/15/ballot-initiative-would-limit-county-executive-to-two-terms/ I think if they get the signatures need to get on the ballot, it will pass.[/quote]
