In the past Farmingtoncitizens.org has endorsed specific City Council Candidates. Not this year. This year there seems to be little public information available about the candidates. Sure some of the candidates have websites, blogs, and of course you can contact them. However the issues facing Farmington seem quite important so Farmingtoncitizens.org set out to do an apples to apples comparison. An email questionnaire was sent out to most of them (those who had findable email addresses). Their replies have been posted on the www.farmingtoncitizens.org website.

So far not all have replied but those that have give a nice picture of what their views are on important issues. Some issues are commercial/residential growth and development, changes to City government, transportation plans, and the Legacy connector. This is a must read for all Farmington citizens before they go to the polls to vote.

Here are some quick links to those candidates who have replied to the questionnaire (check back before voting to see if more replies come in):
