How we made this guide
We researched candidates’ stances on issues that people give a sh*t about. These answers are based on direct responses from candidates’ campaigns.
Keep in mind, this guide is for informational purposes only, designed to help voters understand where each candidate stands on issues important to young people. As a 501(c)(3) organization, we do not endorse or oppose any candidates or political parties.
