What the office covers

Leon’s positions and campaign finances

Leon has no documented policy positions on file. A party label alone is not a statement of where a candidate stands, and it should not be used to assign views to Leon or any other candidate.

No figures are on file for Leon’s fundraising, spending or cash on hand. The same is true for every other candidate listed in this race.
