The primary for November District of Columbia elections will be held next Tuesday, Sept. 14.
The D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics can provide voting information, and has a full list of candidates running. Meanwhile, blogger Zoe Mitchell reports at a recent candidate's forum most attention focused on current councilmember Jack Evans, who is running unopposed, and no less than three candidates showed up late. Also, there's a candidate forum tomorrow organized by a tenants' rights group.
Some groups have issued voter guides: Smokefree D.C. has a candidate scorecard, the "nightlife community" has this elections guide, and a coalition calling themselves "Human Needs First" has posted a lengthy questionnaire online. After the jump is a list of candidates running with links to their campaign websites (if known). Since the Human Needs guide is the most complete, the candidates not responding to the Human Needs First survey are marked "NR"
