Civil Anna


"As you read these candidates' policy preferences on their websites, try to apply the following test:

Think about their statements on policy and check and see if the opposite makes sense. For example, when a candidate says "I am for education", ask yourself, "Which candidate is against education? And which candidate is against border security?"
