How we pick our leaders is essential to the survival of our culture. To help our supporters at the polls, we invited all political hopefuls to take part in our candidate survey on sustainability, cultural justice issues and the environment.
A small subcommittee of volunteers* developed seven questions for the candidates.
*Former PLSR members who are candidates did not participated in the development of the questions nor did they view the questions in advance.
The survey was emailed to all senatorial and congressional candidates. Subsequent phone calls and e-mails were made to remind and encourage candidates to respond by the deadline. Seventeen senatorial candidates responded.
The nine senatorial candidates who DID NOT respond include:
Senator Tina Muna-Barnes
Senator Joe San Agustin
Joseph Cruz
David Duenas
Sandra Reyes Seau
John Ananich
Dominic Hernandez
Senator Jose (Pedo) Terlaje
Christopher Duenas
Two of three congressional candidates responded to the survey. Congressman Mike San Nicolas, who has been an opponent of Prutehi Litekyan's efforts for years, did not respond.
PLSR wishes to express disappointment with the lack of responses to these critical questions from the 10 aforementioned senatorial and congressional candidates.
Un Dangkulo' Na Si Yu'os Ma'åse' to all candidates who responded to our survey. Communication with constituents should be the cornerstone of every single political office.
