You see a name in a story, an elected official or candidate, and you want to know the basics:

How old is he or she? Where did the person go to school? Who gave him or her the most money?

Where can you get the information all in one place? The Google machine might be good for one piece of information. But for the first time, you can find it all in one place in Indy stories.

We call them Indy Fast Facts. They have all the basics -- birthdate, education, offices, major donors.

How do they work?

Just rest your cursor on a name and the information will appear. Try it with Gov. Brian Sandoval or Rep. Dina Titus.

It’s just another way that we want to illuminate people and policies for our readers. We hope you like this new feature. And we want to know what you think: You can email me directly at [email protected] or contact us at [email protected].
