How we survey candidates
KentuckyElection.org contains responses to KFTC’s candidate surveys sent to individuals running for office. The races we surveyed and the questions candidates received were chosen by our member-led Democracy Teams in our local chapter areas around the state.
KFTC sent a letter and survey questions to every candidate in the races we covered, and gave them several options for responding. We followed up vigorously, leaving multiple phone, email, Facebook and Twitter messages to encourage participation from all candidates. We recieved hand-written, typed and even verbal responses to our survey questions. We published all responses word-for-word.
We appreciate all the candidates who took the time to respond to KFTC’s candidate survey. We know they have busy lives and campaign schedules. It reflects well on them all that they took the time to thoughtfully explain their views on issues important to voters.
Please share KentuckyElection.org with your friends and family. We hope you find it a valuable and motivating resource as you prepare to cast your vote!
