League of Women Voters of Laramie (Wyoming)
Voter Guide, 2004

The League of Women Voters (LWV) of Laramie has prepared this Voter Guide. A questionnaire was mailed in mid September to each of the candidates whose names will appear on the ballot for the general election November 2 in Albany County. Every attempt has been made to reach all candidates. The names of those who did not respond are listed under the "Biographical information" section for each office only.

The candidates were asked to limit their answers to 100 words or less (75 for biographical information). Those answers which were too long were shortened by cutting back from the end to the end of the sentence or complete thought. Four (....) dots indicate where a response was shortened. In a few cases a redundant word was removed from the start of a paragraph, but other than these changes, LWV has done no editing whatsoever unless to correct an obvious typographical error. Many candidates responded by e-mail so their words were incorporated without retyping.

The LWV is a nonpartisan political organization dedicated to encouraging informed participation in government and especially to encouraging informed voting. Any U.S. voter may belong to the League, regardless of personal political affiliation. The League does not support or oppose political parties or individual candidates. However, the LWV may take a stand on ballot issues upon which member consensus has been reached. The League is organized in all 50 states and U.S. territories. Voter service activities are conducted at the local, state and national levels. Information about the Laramie League can be obtained at the website http://www.lariat.org/LWV/lwvlarm.html.
