GLAA Ratings for 1996 DC Council Primary Candidates

DC Council Primary Ratings 1996

The Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance of Washington, DC announces the following ratings for DC Council Candidates in the primary election on September 10, 1996. Candidates are rated on a scale of -10 to +10, based on their answers to GLAA's DC Council Questionnaire and their record on behalf of the gay and lesbian community. Note: an asterisk (*) indicates that the candidate failed to return a questionnaire; in this case the rating is based solely upon the candidate's known record.
