The Loveland Daily to Question Candidates Ahead of May 5 Primary

As the May 5 primary election approaches, The Loveland Daily is launching a candidate outreach effort focused on the issues that matter most to Loveland.

In the coming weeks, we will be contacting candidates running in contested primary races across the area and asking them a consistent set of questions centered on local priorities. Our goal is simple: give voters clear, direct insight into where candidates stand—without spin, without interpretation, and in their own words.

The questionnaire will focus on issues we hear about every day from readers, including:

·       Traffic and congestion in and around downtown

·       Drinking water safety and infrastructure

·       Growth and development

·       Local taxes and public services

·       Transparency and responsiveness in government

We will also include opportunities for candidates to raise additional issues they believe deserve attention.

Responses will be published as they are received, creating a running series leading up to Election Day. Each candidate’s answers will be presented in full, so readers can compare positions side-by-side and make informed decisions before heading to the polls.

Not every race on the May 5 ballot is contested, but where voters do have a choice, we believe they deserve more than campaign mailers and social media posts. They deserve substance, clarity, and accountability.

If you are a candidate in a contested primary and would like to participate, we encourage you to reach out (ryanlovelanddaily@gmail.com). If you are a voter, stay tuned—this series is designed with you in mind.

As always, The Loveland Daily remains committed to covering the issues that impact our community—nothing more, and nothing less.
