Public Health on the Ballot
This November, 435 U.S. representatives and 35 U.S. senators are up for election. As you consider your options at the polls ask your candidates these questions to find out where they stand on critical public health issues (PDF). We need champions in Washington, D.C., who will support evidence-based policies that prioritize the public’s health.
What can you do?
- Attend a town hall, send an email or reach out on Twitter and ask your candidates for their position on these public health issues (PDF).
- Still can’t find the answer? Encourage your friends and neighbors to ask these questions, too! If enough people ask, candidates will make the public's health a priority.
