Every campaign website I have ever seen clearly explains the candidates position on all relevant issues. If you are looking for third party sources, you can also see the information compiled be VoteSmart.org and OnTheIssues.org.

Your state's Secretary of State office will list upcoming elections, and BallotPedia.org collects many of these.

The resources are already out there and available. It says something that you didn't even know that though.

Thank you, let me amend my statement and we just need to better educate people on where to find this info.

Some of the struggle is due to silly arcana. For example, the local deadline for submitting candidate statements is immediately after filing week, but before endorsements can be known. So crucial signals voters rely on are often missing.

The only fix is to keep pushing for improvements. Explain the problems to the gatekeepers, lobby for change.
