To better inform its ongoing discussions regarding an endorsement in the Massachusetts special election, GP’s Political Affairs Committee has sent a questionnaire to each of the campaigns competing in the December 8th Democratic primary.

The committee has extensively researched the candidates’ positions on a broad range of topics.  However, the group did not find publicly available material regarding some aspects of GP’s “big four” platform issues for 2010: Clean Energy, Urban Fabric, Food Politics, and Respected America.  The candidate survey contained four questions, one on each issue.

Political Affairs members will meet again to consider survey responses, as well as ongoing campaign developments, this Thursday evening.  The committee has not yet set a date for announcing an endorsement.

Primary elections will take place on December 8; the last day to register to vote in the primary is November 18.  The special election will take place on January 19.
