Know Before You Vote: Where Do The Candidates Stand on the Arts?

Voting is a huge part of being an arts advocate. But it’s also crucial to be an informed voter. Advocating for the sustainability and accessibility of the arts requires us to know where our elected officials stand on these issues. Each year, ArtPride New Jersey distributes surveys to all incumbent legislators and challengers to inform New Jersey residents about each candidate's positions on the arts. Our organization provides this information to voters for informational purposes only. Responses do not suggest the endorsement of any candidate or party.  

Results of our Gubernatorial and State Assembly surveys are available now.
