Dear Fellow Arizonans,
Don’t vote for a sound bite.
This election season, it is critical to know the candidates, and understand how they would govern if elected.
Center for Arizona Policy (CAP) is your resource to help you cut through the political spin and get the facts about the candidates, directly from them. Since 1998, we’ve sent surveys to those running for o! ce and have reported their unedited responses back to you – with no punditry or political speech.
This printed guide is only a small piece of how CAP is able to help you this election season. On our Voter Guide website, azvoterguide.com, you can: • Read comments from candidates to the survey questions • Register to vote • Find your polling location • Access selected county and city election surveys • … and much more!
With our state’s long history of close elections, this year one person, one family, one church can make a di" erence. All you need to do to get started is be informed.
Standing for Arizona families,
Cathi Herrod, Esq.President
About Center for Arizona PolicyCenter for Arizona Policy is a nonprofi t research and education organization committed to promoting and defending the foundational values of life, marriage and family, and religious liberty. Visit azpolicy.org for more information.
