Tell Us The Election 2020 Issues That Matter

This election, CapRadio wants you to help decide what issues matter.

Our journalists usually ask candidates what ideas and topics matter during an election. Instead, we're asking you to tell us what's important. 

Here's what we want to know:

“As a Californian, what do you want to hear the candidates talk about as they compete for your vote?”

Add your answer in the form below. Then, we’ll take your ideas and get answers: From the candidates, and the groups behind the ballot measures you'll be deciding on in 2020.

Your ideas are just the first step. We'll be asking for your feedback again and again until Election Day next November, and providing updates on the process. 

See you in 2020!
