I’ve found sites like Balletopedia to be good starting points when I do my research.
Then I generally go to the candidates individual websites or see what their main talking points are. You don’t always get a sense for everything, but you kind of figure out who they are in general.
From an actual example of a candidate’s official Facebook page in my state, if you see them post something like “how come the MAINSTREAM media isn’t covering the BLACK on WHITE crime?!” you generally don’t need to do much research on them after that.
That's my standard process too, ballotpedia > candidate website. But campaign websites often feel like general bland taking points repeated by all the primary candidates.
