Where can I find the info on each candidate and their Bio/Record?
Betty, Thanks for your question. I would suggest you search the web or go to the political party’s for Bio Info. Here is a link to the Civitas Survey page: http://www.nccivitas.org/2012/candidatesurveyresponses/
Before the Primary the Civitas Institute mailed surveys to Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Council of State, and NCGA candidates. We hoped this effort would allow those seeking elected office an opportunity to communicate their views on important policy issues and help voters make informed decisions at the polls.
Here is another link to the Civitas Action Legislative rankings. The link takes you to the 2011 legislators page where you can click on a legislator and see how he voted on key bills. You can also click on earlier years to find the votes and rankings for the legislators during different legislative sessions. http://www.civitasaction.org/all-legislators/2011/
