*Our candidate questionnaire was due to Reclaim on January 15th. Candidates who submitted their questionnaire by the deadline have been invited to speak to members at our citywide meeting. We received a few questionnaires after the deadline and while we want to share this information with our members and supporters, the candidates who submitted questionnaires after the deadline have not been invited to speak at our meeting.
