On Tuesday, November 2, 2010, Virginians will go to the polls to vote for all of the Commonwealth's members of the U.S. House of Representatives. In addition, in some parts of the state, there are other local elections and ballot initiatives.

In anticipation of the November 2 general elections, the Virginia Catholic Conference (VCC) sent (via certified mail, return-receipt requested) an 8-item questionnaire to all Virginia candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives on July 9. Candidates were sent reminder letters on August 6 and September 8, and were contacted additional times by phone and by e-mail.

Displayed here is a chart containing the names of all candidates and their responses, or a blank line if no responses were received. The questions are also displayed (after the chart).

If you wish to pose these questions directly to the candidates in your district who did not submit responses to the VCC, their contact information can be found on the Virginia State Board of Elections website.

The display of responses and questions linked above is authorized by Virginia’s two Catholic dioceses for use at any parishes that wish to download, copy, and make them available to parishioners. Please also note that no voter-education materials prepared by organizations other than the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops or the VCC are authorized by the two dioceses for parish use.
