2010 County Candidates' Views on the Environment
Thanks are in order to candidates who completed our online questionnaire asking for their views on general and specific issues. We appreciate the time and thought that busy candidates put into their answers.
Even though we are not endorsing candidates, we wanted our members and others to have a sense of how our potential decision makers would prioritize issues that are important to us. We also asked how they would approach particular problems like restoring the health of the Chesapeake Bay or taking local action to mitigate or adapt to climate change impacts. In some cases, Conservation Montgomery mirrored the lists of priority issues with those listed in our residents’ survey so that we could gauge how closely the candidates’ views match with the respondents in the residents’ survey.
Realizing that Montgomery County residents are well-informed and fond of drawing their own conclusions from information presented, our board made a decision to present the candidates’ responses as raw data instead of attempting to summarize or edit responses. The views presented here are not the views of Conservation Montgomery, Inc. For more information, please visit the web sites of the candidates or contact candidates directly.
A final reminder that even though opinions are free in Montgomery County, the Conservation Montgomery Web site costs money to operate. Please visit our “Join/Donate” tab on the home page of this site if you would like to make a donation to our organization. Aside from our Web site, we have some exciting programs planned for the year ahead and need your support.
