Council candidates LGBT questionnaire update
Just a little update on the distribution of my LGBT election issues questionnaire for Greensboro City Council and Mayor candidates…
Yesterday I told you that I had called 18 and that I could get only seven of the 18 on the phone long enough (or at all) to agree to either just “take a look at it,” or completely fill it out.
This morning I finished up the calling and emailing, through all 33 City Council candidates and the two Mayor candidates. Unfortunately, I had to leave messages with most everyone I called.
I was able, however, to get 8, 9, 10 11 more candidates to commit to either “take a look at it” or fill it out.
So… all-in-all, through calling and emailing today and yesterday, as of 11:15am, I’ve only gotten 15, as of 12:45pm as of 1:45pm as of 5:30pm, I’ve gotten 18 of the 33 candidates to confirm either looking at or completing the questionnaire. Almost half - that isn’t too bad.
Those candidates I am not able to reach either by phone or email, or those who do not return my call, will just have to go ahead and receive the questionnaire through the postal service.
