Candidate Criteria for Inclusion in the ProCon.org Local Election Website for Santa Monica
The Santa Monica Daily Press (SMDP), a local daily print and online newspaper for Santa Monica, established criteria for candidates to participate in a their hosted public debate called Squirm Night. SMDP reported which candidates met their established criteria, and ProCon.org included those candidates only in our website. Candidates needed to:
Have raised $1,000 by October 1, 2014
If in a prior election for the office, must have won at least 5% of the vote
Complete and submit the ProCon.org candidate questionnaire on time
Candidates Jerry Rubin and Jon Mann were not included in this resource because they failed to turn in their responses by deadline.
Squirm Night is scheduled for October 13, 2014 from 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica.
