What Elections Have 2018 Local Candidates Missed?

KPBS has pulled voting records for more than 50 candidates running in the 2018 primary

A long line of candidates will be asking for your vote this June, but many of them haven't always made it to the polls themselves in past elections.

KPBS pulled records from the San Diego and Orange County registrars of voters to show when candidates registered to vote, what party (or parties) they registered with and whether they neglected to vote in past elections.

We then reached out to all the candidates to see if they wanted to comment on what we found.
