If there is no Reno Mayor information on a race, it means none of the candidates ♦ Robert Cashell I Pro NP returned the 2010 questionnaire. We encourage Mathias Cone n/r NP supporters to directly contact candidates from these Chad Dehne n/r NP races to determine stance on pro-choice issues. Duane Dunstone n/r NP In some cases in which two candidates are rated pro Reno City Council, Ward 2 choice, endorsement preference is given to the incumbent Brandi Anderson Pro NP who has demonstrated support for Planned Parenthood‘s Anthony Gonzalez n/r NP Donna Graves Pro NP issues while in office or may to individuals who have demonstrated a history of support for Planned Parenthood ♦ Sharon Zadra I Pro NP or our issues. Since we strive for all candidates to be pro Reno City Council, Ward 4 choice, sometimes when there are two or more pro choice Dwight Dortch I n/r NP candidates in a race, we don’t take a position. Some pro Edward Hawkins Leans Pro NP choice candidates are not endorsed because of unfamiliarity with the candidate, their viability or other criteria impacting their PP endorsement.
Some incumbents are known to be supportive, but did not return this year’s 2010 questionnaire. For this reason, some incumbents weren’t given a rating.
