Once you have your info, here's a handy guide! The candidate with the most endorsements is listed first in each section. NOTE: Races that have GOP challengers have those challengers in red. It's especially important to vote unified in those elections (go with the candidate with the DFL and other endorsements). In the City Council races, those with GOP contenders are Ward 6, 7 and 10. In the Park Board races, those races are Park Board At Large (two GOP-endorsed candidates) and District 6. You'll see it all spelled out in the guide.
