What the Candidates Are Saying About Open Government and Freedom of Information Issues
**Note: This posting was updated 03/16/08.
In October 2007, the then-16 major-party candidates were asked to complete a brief Sunshine Week survey on open government. Of the remaining three leading contenders, only Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) has joined former candidates New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards in responding.
With the help of a team of researchers, we have collected articles, speech and debate transcripts and other records that give some insight into the presidential candidates' thoughts on access to government information. We have distilled them into brief overviews with links to the source material.
I just wanted to say that there is a bit of a typo on this page. It says South Carolina Sen. John Edwards, when John Edwards represented North Carolina.
