So what's the best way to learn about candidates of ANY party? (First post...!)

I've only been lurking for a short time so I'm not sure if this belongs in r/politics or r/AskReddit, but here goes...

I'm just looking for a good resource to help me find out more about political candidates, as their websites seem to be generally uninformative. Is there a decent blog or some equivalent out there that I can read in order to become better informed about political candidates? I'm looking for objectivity here; I know some bias is inevitable, but I'd like to avoid it as much as possible. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks reddit!

tl;dr Where can I go/what can i do to become better informed about candidates?
