Find out more about the candidates' views on key topics by checking out the "AAFP Candidate Web Sites" page (Members Only). From that page, you can link to each candidate's individual Web page, read his or her personal statement, and review biographical information and a curriculum vitae.

You also can ask questions of the candidates via the "2008 Candidates Question & Answer Forum" option shown on the main candidates page or by using the "Question & Answer Forum" link on each candidate's page. Be sure to check back later to see the candidates' responses to questions posed. If you find you share common ground with some of the candidates on issues important to you and your practice, consider asking your chapter delegates to the AAFP Congress to vote for those candidates.
