GALA's Voter Guides are now available for city council and ISD races in Plano, Frisco, McKinney, and for Collin College trustees.
GALA's candidate questionnaires seek to gather candidate positions on issues of importance to LGBT voters and those supportive of our issues.

The questionnaire was completed online. Candidates were informed that if GALA did not receive their survey by the deadline, the Voter Guide would indicate that they had declined to participate. Education is central to our mission and we are optimistic that anyone that seeks public office is receptive to gaining knowledge about unfamiliar topics.
