We are sharing links to our survey report below, but we must say we are disappointed with the unwillingness of a majority of the candidates, incumbents as well as challengers, Democrats as well as Republicans, Greens and Libertarians to respond.
We urge you as constituents to let those who seek your vote know of your concerns. Further, we encourage you to ask them where they stand on this critical set of issues. The climate crisis is real. It’s anthropogenic. And it’s an existential threat. While there clearly are many important issues, climate change is one that can’t be put on back burner and addressed in ten, twenty or thirty years. It begs immediate attention, and, since few if any candidates in Missouri are running with this being their signature issue, it’s up to us, the people, to put this issue front and center.

As you likely know, Peaceworks does not support, endorse or oppose candidates for office. We do share information as to where candidates stand and this survey is shared in that light. Thanks for checking it out.
