Where They Stand

In an election campaign in which the media seems to focus more on the candidates' biographies or "narratives" it can be difficult to know where the Democratic and Republican nominees actually stand on the issues.  In order to help our members make an informed decision in this election we present a side-by-side comparison of the candidates' positions on the issues which matter most to us.
