2024 Election Candidate Questionnaires-Primary
Your Vote Matters
The Manatee Chamber invited qualified candidates for several local races to respond to questions from the Chamber. These candidate questionnaires are part of our “get out the vote” efforts. The Manatee Chamber does not endorse candidates. We seek to inform our members of important issues and ensure they have easy access to voter information.
Please note that qualified write-in candidates are marked with an asterisk (*) after their name. By law, write-in candidates do not appear by name on any ballot, but a space is provided to write in a candidate’s name. Many races will be on the Primary ballot (and some will only appear on the General Election ballot this cycle).
Any candidate who has returned their questionnaire is indicated in blue. Their responses can be viewed by clicking on their name. Additional completed questionnaires will continue to be added to this page as responses are received and races/candidates will be updated as appropriate after the Primary Election results are finalized.
