All of the candidates in the run-off elections are being afforded the opportunity to participate in The Abigail Adams Project of Florida survey. We are teaming up with the Tampa 9-12 Project to survey all candidates and produce voter guides to educate the voters about the views and values of the candidates running for office in Tampa. Please feel free to check out the voter guides from the March 1st primary, and note that an updated voter guide will be available online by March 14th.
