DNC Interfaith Council Voter Guide Attached
- Alan Cheilek -UK, DNC
Dear DNC Members and DNC Interfaith Council Members,
As you know, on Saturday, February 1, we will elect new officers of the Democratic National Committee. You can find a list of the currently eligible candidates here.
Our Council contacted every candidate asking them to complete our candidate questionnaire, which asked a range of questions related to interfaith work, religious freedom, and the role of the Interfaith Council at the DNC.
You will find the questionnaire here for your reference, and attached is our voter guide, which displays candidates' answers to our questionnaire. The guide includes a list of the candidates who could either not be reached or did not answer the questionnaire, however we are very pleased to share that the majority of candidates took the time to do so.
The DNC Interfaith Council is not endorsing candidates for this election. The purpose of our voter guide is to educate DNC Members about the candidates' positions on issues of importance to our Council so that members can make their own, informed decisions accordingly.
We also invited every candidate to speak at our Council meeting this afternoon. The following candidates made remarks:
Candidates for Chair
Ken Martin
Jason Paul
Faiz Shakir
Ben Wikler
Marianna Williamson
Candidates for Vice Chair
