Vote Your Values

A jersey is a team, not a value. Wearing a color tells you who someone cheers for. It does not tell you what they will do with your community in their hands.

The Four-Color Lens

Four questions to read a ballot

Set the party label aside. Read every name on the ballot through people, process, product and profit.

People

Who does this candidate protect, hear and bring along? Look at the record, not the rally.

Process

Does this candidate respect the rules, the courts and the way decisions are made?

Product

What has actually been built, passed or delivered? Name the result you can point to.

Profit

Who pays, who gains, and what does it cost your community over time?

Take the lens with you

Use the Ballot Lens before you vote, find your own color, or bring this talk to your room.
