Questionnaire Candidate Responses

   It is extremely important that you compare the candidates' responses to the right questionnaire. There are two different (yet similar) questionnaires; one for the Missouri Federal level candidates and one for Missouri State level candidates. To see whether or not you agree with the candidate who is vying for your vote, you will need to compare his or her answers to the appropriate questionnaire. We recommend that you first list the answers of your favorite candidate/s on a separate piece of paper then go to the appropriate questionnaire and compare their answers. This will save you the time and effort of having to toggle back and forth between the questionnaire and your candidates' answers.

The following is the list of topics which Missouri & Illinois STATE LEVEL candidates were asked to address:

1. Legislative Philosophy

2. Health Care

3. Discrimination

4. Abortion

5. Gaming

6. The U.S. Constitution

7. Education

8. Second Amendment

9. Stem Cell Research

10. Private Property

Key to Answers:

• CHOSE NOT TO RESPOND - Candidate made the choice not to answer our questionnaire.
• NA ("No Answer") - Candidate responded to our questionnaire, but chose not to relate their position/opinion on this particular topic.
• NA* ("No Answer but provided a comment") - Candidate did not choose one of the positions/opinions presented as a choice on the questionnaire, but instead made a comment related to the topic.
• 1. a* (Answer with an asterisk) Answers with an asterisk indicate that the candidate chose one of the positions/opinions provided on the questionnaire and added a clarifying comment or statement.
