PLEASE VISIT OUR ELECTION PAGE TO REVIEW CANDIDATE QUESTIONNAIRES
Note: Ratings marked with an asterisk (*) indicate a candidate who did not return GLAA’s questionnaire and was therefore rated solely on their known record on GLAA’s issues, or previous GLAA rating for record.
Also, the same questionnaire was used for both primary and general election races therefore the ratings for primary winners are included for easy comparison with the other general election candidates.
