We asked 2022 candidates in states across the country to go on the record about common-sense democracy solutions.
They ran to represent you, so we deserved to know whether they’d fight for a democracy that works for everyone. Our survey asked candidates for office whether they’d support proven solutions to put We The People in charge.
