Given the mounting challenges facing our state, it is unsurprising that Nevadans from across the political spectrum are increasingly asking for more transparency from their state and local governments.

To meet this desire, TransparentNevada sent surveys to all current and prospective lawmakers and major state elected officials asking for their views on some frequently discussed open-government proposals.

Answers with asterisks (*) indicate the candidate supplied some additional comments. We urge you to read those comments in order to get a fully formed picture of the candidate's views. You can view the comments by either hovering your mouse over the asterisk or by clicking the candidate's name.

If you're interested, you can also read the whole survey.

You can also view just the candidates who responded or everybody.
