Policy positions and campaign money
No documented policy positions are on file for Shannon or any of the other 14 candidates. That means the race record does not establish where any candidate stands on specific issues.
The listed campaign finance fields are also blank for every candidate. There are no figures on file for money raised, money spent or cash on hand, which refers to campaign money remaining after reported expenses. Without those figures, the candidates’ fundraising and spending cannot be compared.
