For the last several election cycles, KFTC has made an effort to contact the candidates in areas where we have a strong membership and ask them questions about the issues that are important to us.  We want to move the debate about candidates beyond their superficial differences and instead focus on the issues that affect us in our daily lives.  We've asked questions about mountaintop removal mining, energy issues, immigration, poverty, health care, and more.  Hopefully these surveys will educate and empower our members to make informed choices at the polls. 

With this year's primary election coming up next Tuesday, May 20th, we've been working hard to compile responses from a variety of candidates in federal, state, and local races.  Last week we mailed our Voter Guides to all of our members and have begun to hand them out at tabling events around the state, but we've also put them online for anyone to read.  You can find it at www.KentuckyElection.org.

So please take some time to familiarize yourself with the candidates, and then spread the word about the website with your friends and family.
