question to the candiates

[Ayden Férdeline]

Hi Seun,

If you have any questions on the positions that I would take or have previously taken, I'd be happy to respond to them so that you know where I stand on the issues.

It is not my place as a candidate to tell you what others stand for. You will need to ask the right questions to determine whether one is fit, or not, for the office they are seeking.

Best wishes,

Ayden Férdeline
