Toward that end, the Center has authored and distributed to all legislative candidates our 2020 Corrupt Practices in the Alaska Legislature Candidate Survey. Surveys were sent to all candidates by electronic mail on August 4, 2020. The Center welcomed suggestions for this year's survey from our supporters and donors. The ten topics that were finally chosen for this year's candidate survey highlight several issues of concern that Alaska legislators have faced in recent years and that are likely to resurface in the future. By raising these issues now, we hope to prepare both voters and future legislators to understand and form an opinion about them before being faced with a decision on whether to maintain the status quo within the legislature or chart a new and better course. As of this writing, a number of candidates have yet to review their survey and submit their responses on these very important issues. If your candidate has not yet done so, please encourage them to complete their survey
