The Right to Know


The Right to Know
  • It is vitally important to a democracy to enable all people to research the issues and receive opinions from a wide variety of sources as well as their elected officials.
  • Only by knowing the details of our elected official’s position on the issues can citizens of a democracy make the very best decisions in the voting booth.
  • When elected officials state their positions on the issues, everyone should be able to read, view and listen to them.
  • When this position is published by a media outlet that is a paid subscription only it limits the amount of citizens that are able to be aware of the position.     
  • It is my position that all publications, announcements and other statements on any issues be fully available to all citizens.
