A candidate questionnaire is a great tool to help the disability community learn more about the candidates, specifically how the candidates would address issues that impact people with disabilities. They also educate the candidates and make them more aware of the issues that are important to the disability community. This Candidate Questionnaire Template includes a variety of questions addressing topics that are important to the disability community. Advocates can use the Template to develop their own questionnaire for state and local elections.

If you issue a candidate questionnaire for a state or local election, please keep the REV UP Campaign updated on your efforts. You can reach us at xxxxxx@aapd.com<mailto:xxxxxx@aapd.com>.
