A number of candidates responded to the questionnaire, and their responses will be posted on the coalition organizations’ websites.

The coalition includes:

• The Chicago Council on Science and Technology (C2ST)
• The Illinois Science Council
• Science Debate (a national science policy organization)
• The National Science Policy Network (NSPN), a national organization composed of early career early-career scientists interested in public policy
• Graduate student organizations affiliated with NSPN from Northwestern University, University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois

While our coalition operates out of Illinois, Science Debate, and NSPN assembled science policy coalitions in states across the nation, which puts the Illinois candidate’s responses in a national context. We encourage everyone to consider the candidates’ positions on these pressing issues, whether stated in response to our questionnaire or stated elsewhere when deciding to vote.
