Nonpartisan “Listed by” credit: in nonpartisan races (marked NP) parties do not nominate; where a county Republican Party lists a nonpartisan candidate on its own site or slate, the guide shows “Listed by <County> County Republican Party (nonpartisan race)” with the source org named. This is the party’s listing, not a party nomination.
Recommendations are the listed groups’, not this guide’s; a blank race means no published recommendation was found, not that none exists.
