See the blank questionnaire we sent to candidates here. This version of the questionnaire includes all questions in all categories, which is the version of the questionnaire we sent to candidates for mayor and city council. Other candidates had much shorter questionnaires tailored to their offices. Fund & trust candidates were simply asked to share their experience and why they were running for the office.
