AARP Voter Guide
Each election year, AARP asks major candidates in selected races key questions about the issues most important to our members and their families. Candidates are allowed up to 125 words to answer each question. AARP does not edit or modify the candidates’ answers to our questions. In addition, AARP provides a summary of our position for each of the issues addressed.
