In the days leading up to the election GPPR will be releasing these graphical briefs on the candidates’ various policy positions. The justified text is directly excerpted from a candidate’s website platform with our analysis bulleted beneath each point. We strive to be as objective as possible in our analysis and you can find our research sources below.
