The board\u2019s endorsement process <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"Follow nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/opinion\/article315835747.html\">is walled off from the newsroom<\/a>, so it doesn\u2019t influence our reporting. We see endorsements as a public service \u2014 regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the board\u2019s opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Our voter guide stories also delve into who\u2019s funding the races, and in some cases include searchable campaign-finance graphics from our news partner  CalMatters.<\/p>\n<p>Each of our  guides starts with the governor\u2019s race, as well as other statewide and congressional races, before filtering down to local contests.
