The Partnership for Watauga's Future, in keeping with its mission of offering a full and fair exposition of facts, is sending short questionnaires to all candidates running for a seat on the Watauga County Commission, as well as to those seeking seats to represent the citizens of Watauga County in the North Carolina State House and Senate. This is the third election cycle in which the Partnership has conducted a survey of candidates for office
