Our Approach

• Candidate Qualifications
  Only the candidates that meet the following criteria were invited to respond to the League's questions in this guide: 1. The candidate must have made a public announcement of her/his intention to run for her/his Party's nomination for President; and, 2. The candidate must meet the Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act's minimum contribution threshold requirements for qualifying for matching funds, based on the most recent data publicly available on the Federal Election Commission Website.
• Unbiased Interviews
  We asked all the candidates the same set of questions. The questions were created after going through national polling information over the past year. The questions were designed to ask the candidates questions on the issues voters care most about, today. Candidates submit their answers directly and we present their responses here, word for word. If the candidates have not answered our questions, see how you can help!
