Where the candidates stand
No documented policy positions are on file for any of the eight candidates. That means the candidate records do not state their views on legislation, federal spending or other matters that could come before the U.S. House.
Party labels identify Burket, Shaver, Heberling, Maddaluno and Tabor as Democrats; Kelley and Latta as Republicans; and Franklin as an independent. Those labels do not establish an individual candidate’s position on a specific issue.
