GroundUpWR has surveyed our local candidates and graded them based on our grassroots values.
Rooted in Community: We are looking for candidates who are connected to local grassroots networks and will spearhead local actions. Challenging status quo/government systems: We are looking for candidates who are not limited by jurisdiction and who seek transformation beyond status quo institutions. Challenges party politics/independence from party politics: We are looking for candidates who prioritize community over party and will publicly challenge their party if needed. Grassroots Values: We are looking for candidates who champion grassroots calls to action.
After reviewing each candidates, here are the ones who scored highest for each riding. Please sign up to volunteer/canvass for their campaigns.
