One of the most frequently asked questions we receive during elections season is “Why do candidates decline to respond?”
Simply put, the answer is “We don’t know.”
CAP’s Voter Guide is nonpartisan and straight forward. We treat every candidate the same and follow up with candidates multiple times to give them every opportunity to respond.
This year, CAP sent out its survey for azvoterguide.com to all the candidates running for local office in Phoenix, Prescott, Surprise, Tucson, and Yuma. Below are the candidates who declined to respond. If there is a candidate in your district that you would like to hear from on the issues, feel free to tweet them a blank version of the original survey.
