Most of us want to be informed. We want to be able to evaluate the candidates, proposed constitutional amendments, and other referendums on our ballot. But being informed takes time and an ongoing commitment. I’m trying to help. With the weekly Sparker’s Digest newsletter, civics primers on state and local government topics, and in-depth dives into the candidates and issues on the ballot at election time, my mission is to facilitate and encourage informed voting in Collier County and throughout Florida. 

If you appreciate my work and want to help me reach more voters, please support Sparker’s Soapbox. Your donation will help defray the costs of the news services and publications I subscribe to, the costs of operating, maintaining, and optimizing this website, the printing of Vote Smart Collier County: A Nonpartisan Guide for Collier County Voters, and my increasing use of artificial intelligence in my research.

Thank you!
