Since every single relevant and irrelevant group in Takoma Park feels the need to bombard candidates running for local elections with lengthy lists of questions, we thought…why not us, too?
So, here is the official 2020 Takoma Torch Candidate Questionnaire. Any candidate (or non-candidate) serious about landing our exclusive endorsement for an extremely low wage job responding to the urgent demands of needy and irrational constituents should send their thoughtful answers to info@takomatorch.com. Or, if you’re a true bold leader who scoffs in the face of adversity, post your answers directly in the comments section of one of our social media pages.
