2022 Candidate Questionnaire
on Housing Issues
The North Bay Organizing Project launched a candidate questionnaire for the 2022 election to help voters see where suburban candidates stand on key housing justice issues.
We published these questions verbatim and as received from each candidate. We also asked candidates to rank their priorities from a list of 10 options with #1 as the top priority and #10 as the least priority.
