Policy positions

No documented policy positions are on file for any candidate in the race. Campaign finance figures show money raised and spent, but they do not establish where a candidate stands on legislation or public policy.

For Leslie and every other candidate, clear issue positions would allow voters to compare their approaches to the work of a U.S. senator. Until candidates record those positions, no stance should be attributed to them.
