2012 General Election Voters Directory

Welcome to the online Citizens Union 2012 Online General Election Voters Directory. This page contains information regarding each of the 14 races that were evaluated by Citizens Union, which can be accessed through the links for each district below. Each district’s page contains:

individual summaries of candidates who were interviewed by Citizens Union;
the rationale for Citizens Union’s support for a particular candidate (please note that Citizens Union issues a “Preference” for the Primary Election, and an “Endorsement” only in the General Election);
candidates’ detailed questionnaire responses;
links to campaign finances filings and other candidate information; and
links to district maps.

Please also see the print version of the 2012 General Election Voters Directory and Citizens Union’s press release regarding our 2012 General Election preferences. See also our separate press release for Senate District 15. Excerpts from the print directory are available below.

All questionnaires submitted to Citizens Union for contested general elections are available; please note, however, that due to limited capacity, Citizens Union is not able to evaluate every race taking place in New York City.

Our past preference and endorsement decisions are also available.
