The Methodology

Candidate Questionnaire

A candidate questionnaire covering important local issues was sent out to all primary candidates in mid June. Based on the candidate answers to a series of Yes/No questions, a candidate comparison card for each race is generated.

In addition, we recommend voters also make use of the fully completed questionnaires made available for viewing as:

• Candidate comparison cards may not adequately reflect nuances between candidate positions

• Fully completed questionnaires include:

  • Additional comments by the candidate on Yes/No questions

  • Longer-form responses to open-ended questions related to policing and public safety
