Candidates Seeking Endorsement

Dear Candidate,

Enclosed you will find The Progressive Leadership Fund’s 2008 Candidate Questionnaire and an Issue Guide which gives a detailed description of the issues at stake in each of the questions.

The Progressive Leadership Fund (PLF) is a political action coalition made up of the election arms of Rhode Island’s most progressive organizations.  The PLF members are:

  • American Association of University Professors PAC
  • National Association of Social Workers Rhode Island Chapter PACE
  • National Education Association of Rhode Island PACE
  • New England Health Care Workers Union, District 1199 SEIU PAC
  • Sierra Club Political Committee
  • Rhode Island Clean Water Action Vote Environment Advisory Committee
  • Rhode Island National Organization for Women (RI NOW) PAC
  • United Auto Workers Region 9A PAC
  • United Nurses and Allied Professionals PAC

We are sending this questionnaire to all candidates running for the Rhode Island General Assembly.  This is one part of our process to identify, endorse, and work for progressive candidates in Rhode Island.  We may also request an interview with you as a part of our process.  The Progressive Leadership Fund operates in coalition, and makes its endorsement decisions by consensus.  No candidate for office can receive a PLF endorsement without submitting a completed questionnaire.

I welcome any questions you may have about the questionnaire or the process.  Please feel free to call me at 463-5368 or email me at danbass33@gmail.com.  In no way will a question about any topic raised in the questionnaire be construed to a candidate’s detriment.

No doubt you recognize the value of campaign assistance which arrives earlier rather than later.  With this in mind, we ask you to reply by Monday July 28th if you have a primary opponent or by Friday August 1st for general election endorsement. Missing this deadline may disqualify you from consideration for an endorsement.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Daniel Bass

Coordinator, Progressive Leadership Fund
