Candidate Questionnaires

To help voters understand where candidates stand on hunger and food insecurity, the Make Hunger History Coalition invited candidates in contested state legislative races to answer questions about policies affecting hunger and food insecurity in the Commonwealth.

Candidates were invited to participate in contested races where more than one candidate was running for the seat. Each candidate was given 16 days to respond. Responses are presented as submitted, with only formatting edits.

Here’s how they answered.

Please Note: Make Hunger History does not endorse candidates. We encourage voters interested in addressing hunger to read candidates’ responses and make informed decisions at the ballot box.
