Center for Arizona Policy (CAP) extensively researched answers for all the candidates who declined to respond to the nonpartisan survey. You can access the sources for these answers on each candidate's page. CAP does not speak for any candidate who has not answered the AZ Voter Guide survey.

This information may include a candidate's voting records, public statements, campaign materials, or other credible sources. Based on this publicly available information, some candidate position statements have been determined after extensive research and are represented with "S" (Support based on citations) or "O" (Oppose based on citations). If it is unclear or unknown where a candidate stands on a given issue, the answer has been intentionally left blank.
