Know the issues

Inflation and the economy: Voters said in July and October that inflation and the economy are the most important issues. Immigration reform, the soaring costs of health care, and a lack of affordable housing are other economic factors voters are considering as they contemplate who to vote for – if they even decide to cast their ballot, reporter Sarah Elbeshbishi reports.

Abortion: Voters across the nation this year are being asked to weigh in on a record number of ballot initiatives on abortion rights, reporter Bill Keveney writes.

Voters will see abortion-related ballot measures in five states: California, Michigan, Vermont, Montana and Kentucky.

Critical race theory, trans rights, LGBTQ issues: The economy may be the issue weighing most heavily on voters’ minds heading into the Nov. 8 midterm elections, but the culture wars are inciting voter angst, too, reporter Michael Collins writes.

Topics such as abortion, critical race theory and LGBTQ rights are shaping political contests from local school board races to campaigns for governor, state legislature and Congress.

Where did the money go? By the time the election is over, candidates' and their supporters' spending could top $9.3 billion, according to nonpartisan watchdog group OpenSecrets, reporter Erin Mansfield writes. See who contributed and who benefits.
