There are two places online where voters in the June 17 special election can compare the candidates, including more than the two mentioned in this article. The League of Women Voters invited all the candidates to answer the same questions. The answers received from four candidates are published in the League's voters guides - I'm sorry that the rules for posting comments here specify no links allowed. Google for ["League of Women Voters" Maryland Montgomery]. Also, the same four candidates were invited by Access Montgomery to record a 4-minute video statement. The statements by the four candidates can be seen online [Google for "Access Montgomery"] -- and have been shown several times on Montgomery County cable channel 21.

I'm one of those candidates whose answers you can read in the voters guide and who you can see in the video. My name is Steve Schulin. I'm a registered write-in candidate -- votes for me on June 17 will be counted. If you'd like to see a God-fearin', liberty-lovin', sovereignty-conserving Representative in Congress, I ask for your vote on June 17. My campaign web page, as are those of the other candidates, is shown in the voters guide
