Additional Information
Based upon the 1998 U.S. Supreme Court decision "Arkansas vs Forbes," the partners have established "reasonable" and "viewpoint-neutral" criteria for participation in these statewide debates and will apply those criteria consistently to determine if a candidate is conducting an active campaign.
