Results
On August 6th NHFFE sent out 860 postcards to candidates for Governor, State Senate and State Representatives asking them to fill out our 2010 NHFFE Candiate Questionnaire. The return rate has been very strong with a 17.5% response rate, but NHFFE would like to get more responses.
Families can help by contacting candidates, who haven't responded, and asking them fill out NHFFE's online questionnaire on these important education issues. It is easy to see how useful the answers to these questions will during elections and afterwards for those working to promote good bills in the coming legislative session. NHFFE needs help from families across the state to encourage more candidates to participate in this survey.
The full Questionnaire and Detailed Results of all participating candidates are available in this August 2010 Newsletter.
