At NC Health News, we care about you and your family’s health and we think our elected officials should too. We started in September to reach out to all of North Carolina’s Congressional candidates asking them to answer a series of questions about health care issues that you care about: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, pharmaceutical and health care prices, vaccines, AI, PFAS and more. For this voter guide, we asked the same set of questions for candidates in individual races, asking questions based on some of the most-read stories of the past year.
How to use this guide:
Click on the race you’re interested in and the candidates for that office will pop up.
Click on the “learn more about” links to see answers to questions asked by the NC Health News team.
Not sure which Congressional district you’re in? Use this link to search by your name and check your voter registration status too. Everyone gets to vote in the U.S. Senate race.
This year, voters will be asked to show photo ID in order to vote. Questions? This Frequently Asked Questions website from the NC Board of Elections has the answers.
Note: Many candidates did not answer our repeated requests for their opinions. In those cases, we went out and did extensive research on where the candidates stand, combing their websites, social media, other news outlets’ coverage, watching YouTube videos of interviews and sometimes attending campaign events (where possible). In short, we’ve tried our best to find answers for you and create as complete a voter guide as possible.
We’ve been doing this voter guide for more than a decade, and we’ve seen a disturbing trend: increasingly, candidates and public officials feel that they’re not answerable to their constituents. Elected officials work for us, they should take the time to answer questions that their voters care about.
