Monroe Candidates Share Their Views, Background

Monroe Patch sent a questionnaire to the chairmen of the town's Republican and Democratic parties to give to their candidates and the following hyperlinks go to individual profiles made from the information.

Any name without a link either means a chairman did not get the questionnaire to the candidate, the candidate didn't fill it out or their email fell through the cracks. Candidates who sent in a profile and do not see it here should email me at bill@patch.com.
