To the judges: The 2012 election presented a unique situation in Corpus Christi politics. A combined ballot for the first time in years led to up to 37 choices on 13 electronic pages for some voters. Decisions on roads, health care, schools and water resources and on the people who were making those decisions – from the president to the city councilman – loomed for voters. It called for the Caller-Times to compile a voters’ guide complete with candidate bios, profile stories, district maps as well as voting locations and a sample ballot. Forty-four pages in all, the tabloid guide was something we had never done before but something we needed to do to help voters understand what they faced and the importance of the choices they were about to make. Please consider it as the best blue moon special section in Texas. Respectfully, Bro Krift Corpus Christi Caller-Times city editor
