See responses to KBAD’s candidates questionnaire (note that these were sent to county folks, not state or federal,) and not all answered them. If you’re a candidate, or support one of these candidates and want to submit, please send HERE.
NOTE: If there’s no photo of the candidate, we’ve not received anything. We found some photos and websites, but if there’s no website linked, it means they’ve not sent us the information. As a volunteer, I do as much as I can, but it may take a bit longer for me to do all the research to update for everyone.
