Congressional Primary Dates in last column of this source. Other sources for primary candidate races: Politics 1 and 2008 Race Tracker and Project Vote Smart

Upcoming primaries and candidates are listed below. Past primaries are archived. We're in the process of sending a cover letter and questionnaire to candidates in upcoming primaries.

Use the links above to find candidate email campaign contact information: Project Vote Smart is the best source. Enter the last name of your candidate then scroll down into the section that starts with "Candidate Matches" ... it's always toward the bottom. Politics 1 is a good secondary choice. If you can't find a campaign website or contact email for a candidate, s/he is probably not viable in the race. Drop me a message if I may be of assistance. Larry larry4th@gmail.com
