**==== Issue Position Guidelines:====**

**Do Take:**
~- Direct quotes on or summaries of the official/candidate's stance on an issue.
~- Issue Positions on a subject we already have for the official/candidate which are //different// from what we have in Admin already.

**Do Not Take:**
~- Lists of the official/candidate's voting record.
~- Lists of legislation the official/candidate has introduced or co-sponsored.
~- Press releases, dated statements, letters, etc.
~- Issue Positions worded exactly the same as the one's we already have from the official/candidate in Admin.

**Collecting Issue Positions:**
1. Open the official/candidate's official or campaign website.
2. Open the //Issues//, //Issues and Legislation//, or whatever the section with Issue Positions might be called. This can sometimes be difficult to find. If you do not find the Issue Position section immediately, look in the //Press// or the //Biography// sections - do not give up looking for the Issue Positions until you have checked through every section of the website.
3. Open all Issue Positions in separate tabs.
4. Look through each Issue Position - if there are links to the official/candidate's stance on subcategories of the issue, open these as well in separate tabs. Be sure these subcategories are not merely lists of legislation, voting record, press releases, etc. Each position on a subcategory of an issue will be entered into Admin as its own statement, but will be clearly marked in the **title** to show what issue it is a subcategory of - see below.
5. Copy and paste text from the candidate website into Admin. Make sure that there is a space between each paragraph.
