SOURCES & EXPLANATIONS
Click here for a Survey to send to candidates who have not filled out one.
- A green “YES” indicates a Survey response that would encourage lower immigration and more protection for American workers, communities, natural resources and quality of life from high immigration-forced U.S. population growth.
- A red “NO” indicates a Survey response that would lead to higher U.S. immigration, foreign workers, sprawl, congestion and more pressure on American wages and communities.
- A red “Declined” indicates a Survey response in which a candidate declined to take a position.
If a challenger returns a survey, but the incumbent Member of Congress does not, the incumbent's positions are filled in based on the incumbent's past actions in Congress.
- A green lower-case “(yes)” means the incumbent’s past actions clearly indicate agreement with the survey question.
- A green “(leans yes)” means the incumbent’s past actions indicate a general leaning toward agreement with the survey question.
- A red “(inadequate)” means the incumbent has inadequate past actions to indicate a positive position on the issue.
- A red lower-case “(no)” means the incumbent’s past actions indicate a general disagreement with the survey question.
