  • The Ballot Brief: no website or questionnaire found as of Sept 11, 2026
  • retry 2026-10-15: web search; Branch profile describes a California (Nevada County) supervisor, likely a different person with the same name; not used

That is where we have looked so far, not everywhere there is to look. If you know Heidi Hall's work or background, tell us — we'd rather print it than leave it blank.
