About the Author:
I’ve updated the All-Candidates survey to include reponses to the second three of nine issues questions.
Click on the survey ad under the candidates thumbnail ads on the CountyLive home page or go to http://www.pec2018acs.wordpress.com.
It’s very worthwhile to attend all-candidates meetings to see how the candidate present themselves and their positions, and how they answer questions from electors.
It will also be helpful to consult the comprehensive all-candidates survey that I have just released, with 35 of 37 candidates participating. It’s available at http://www.pec2018acs.wordpress.com
The survey is in two parts: a profile of each candidate, and his/her views on nine important County issues. The profiles and responses to the first three issues questions are being published today (Sep. 26) with the remainder of the issues on Oct. 3 and Oct. 10.
If you know nothing about the candidates, you can obtain enough information from the survey report to make informed decisions on voting.
