Methodology

Key:

Recommendation: Candidate has either a strong voting record, history of leadership or strong survey and commitment to the humane treatment of animals.

No recommendation : Candidates either did not fill out the survey or are equally rated based on the information we have at this time. Viability is also taken into consideration.

Criteria: Voting record, incumbency, history of leadership, improved record, survey results, viability.  For more details about Humane PA’s methodology  – check:  Announcing Humane PA’s 2014 Endorsements.
