As we in central and western Pennsylvania slide into the final week of this year’s election season, WPSU.org has put together their Candidate Central web site site, with “easy to use information about all the state and U.S. congressional candidates that fall within Central PA as well as parts of Western PA. It features over 80 candidate profiles from 27 counties.”

This is a comprehensive, impartial website. It is meant to be an informational resource for voters, especially concerning local races that don’t normally get much attention in the media. It features video and audio interviews, a questionnaire on where candidates stand on key issues, a blog, and other such features. It also includes a “My Ballot” feature where users can enter their county and township to see which candidates are running within their area.

It’s a great place to look if you want to keep up with what’s going on in our region. I like the blog, which begins about halfway down the main page, though it hasn’t been updated since Friday.
