HSN organized candidate forums in the 2003 Mayor's race and several contested Supervisorial elections in 2002 and 2004. We also developed candidate questionnaires and distributed the results at the forums and to members. The forums and questionnaires focused on issues related to poverty and the nonprofit sector. We have also endorsed and fought for ballot measures to increase revenues for health and human services and to build affordable housing.

HSN encourages nonprofit agencies to organize voter registration drives for their staff and clients. It is crucial that all nonprofit employees and clients exercise their right to vote. Elected officials and ballot measures have significant impacts on our community, our agencies, and the lives of those we serve.
