Dear Candidate,
Congratulations on your decision to run for office.
For over 20 years, restoringthecaliforniadream.com has conducted California election forums where we make specific candidate recommendations based on a 5-star rating scale.
Last election cycle, we had about 1 million voters following our endorsements, many of whom were in your district.
Besides conducting a dozen live Election Forums and several webinars giving endorsements, we will post our endorsements of candidates on our four websites, emailing and publicizing our recommendations to several hundred thousand California voters.
In addition, our recommendations are also broadcast on radio, TV, and podcast platforms.
In your office we will either say:
- Endorsed…Giving you a 3 to 5-star rating
- Not endorsed…Giving you a 1 to 2-star rating
- Refused to disclose position…Usually a 1 to 2-star rating
I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully giving you our endorsement.
- What is your name, and what office are you running for?
- What are the 3 most pressing issues facing your district or city? Please prioritize them. What, if anything, do you plan to do about them if you are elected? What specific promises will you make to the voters in order to be elected? What will be your primary focus if elected to office?
(1)
(2)
(3) - Should your district reduce the cost of services by contracting out or privatizing government services? Why or why not?
- Should taxes be raised, lowered, or remain the same? What about fees?
- Local control: As California is increasingly overriding local decision-making, would you be willing to stand up to the state in opposition? If so, why and how?
- Did you support or oppose eminent domain? Why or why not? Do you agree with the United States Supreme Court’s Kelo decision? Why or why not?
- Who is your political role model or the politician you most admire? Why?
- Do you believe in absolute truth? Why or why not? If you believe in absolute truth, what is the source of absolute truth? If you do not believe in absolute truth, how do you determine what is true?

Sincerely,
