For currently elected officials, stands on issues are available as there is a public record and ratings from many groups to determine  an incumbent's stand . For new candidates, the electorate often  relies on press releases from the candidate's committee, radio clips, cable access TV, questionnaires, pledges, endorsements, and newspaper and other materials. VoteCoreValues has selected some top issues important to some of the electorate and is requesting your input; it is important that the voters are completely educated on your stands versus your opposition's stands.

You should know that VoteCoreValues is a increasingly growing (details to follow) and we welcome the support of political activists. Your answers, should you be elected into office, will be monitored for candor with the electorate and updated as required.  Please take your time to fill out this questionnaire, and add any relevant materials you wish for us to link to your posting on this website. Letting voters know your stand on the issues of the day can only help us all to better understand one another, and possibly help each other to grow.

 

Your candidate may be pro-life or pro-abortion. That is his/her option. This site is designed to reflect votes and positions so that YOU know what your candidate's CORE position is on various issues.  In the future, our database of each candidate's rating will contain links detailing the candidate's database of votes which earned each particular rating.

Definitions used on this website:
         Pro- 2nd Amendment = supports individual's gun rights
Enforce Immigration Laws = oppose drivers license, free tuition and benefits for illegals
                             Pro-Family = pro-child: supports marriage between one man and one woman
                                                     as he/she would not deny a child the fundamental right
                                                     to have a mother, or a father; supports parent rights over state rights

Information listed is based on best available public information, voting records, roll calls, endorsements promoted by candidates, and/or comments made by candidates.
We highly recommend that if you have any concrete information to the contrary, please forward it to us so that our review board may confirm the information and post any changes. During the review period, the current posting will be flagged accordingly. We thank you for your attention and help in this matter. Please keep in mind, one "good" vote on a issue does not counter multiple "bad" votes on an issue.  We seek to accurately reflect the "CORE" values of each candidate.
