FOR CANDIDATES & AUTHORIZED CAMPAIGN REPRESENTATIVES
Coldstream candidate questionnaire
Share your priorities and policy positions for your community’s 2026 election in about 20–30 minutes. For mayor, council, electoral-area director and water councillor candidates. Brief answers are enough.
Before you begin: brief answers, supporting material and privacy
Plan for 20–30 minutes
Answer six brief profile questions, two affordability questions and 25 quick position questions about your community. Short answers and bullet points are welcome. The suggested answer lengths are guides, not requirements.
For each position, choose Yes / Support, No / Oppose, Conditional / Depends, Undecided, Outside my role or Other. Conditional / Depends opens an optional explanation box; Other lets you write your own answer. Select up to three priorities for each affordability question.
Add supporting material
Upload documents and images at the end. Include video and large-file links in the supporting-material section. Add captions, creator credits and publication permissions.
Reviewed before publication
Your contact email stays private. Your answers and permitted material are reviewed before publication with your name. Submitting does not subscribe you to marketing.
Coldstream: 20–30 minutes.
Brief answers and bullet points are welcome. Answer for the office you are seeking and use Outside my role when a question does not apply. You can email prepared answers or additional profile information to Tom at tom@gainstreetstrategy.com.
Name, contact email, community and office and final authorization are required. Policy answers and attachments are optional. You can select undecided or outside my role, or leave an optional question blank and select Next question.

Prepare longer answers in a document you control and keep a copy. This website cannot save or recover answers inside the questionnaire. After you start, your browser will normally warn before you refresh, close this page or switch communities. Browser crashes and some mobile app closures cannot be protected.
The new-tab questionnaire is separate: answers do not transfer between tabs, and this page’s leave warning does not protect the new tab.
