Citizen USA Election Endorsements
November 7, 2006 Ohio Elections
CCN-USA
endorsements are indicated by an X and are based upon answers to multiple surveys, campaign literature,
public comments, and voting records where applicable.
Many candidates choose not to answer surveys questioning their positions on issues. Issues upon which endorsements are based, but not limited to, are the candidate’s statements regarding life, parental rights, education, religious freedom, taxes, adoption, and
accountability to their constituents among others.
