Earlier this year, KUNR Public Radio launched a survey asking community members to share topics or issues they would like to hear about from candidates running in Nevada’s 2022 elections. Many community members voiced concern about climate change and wanted to know how their local politicians would respond to environmental issues. With additional environmental questions collected from a group of University of Nevada, Reno students majoring in a variety of fields, KUNR created a questionnaire for candidates running for nine races in Reno, Sparks and Washoe County.

For the KUNR “2022 Elections: Candidate Surveys on the Environment” project, Natalie Van Hoozer was the lead reporter and community engagement coordinator. Shelby Herbert assisted with fact-checking and is a reporter for the Hitchcock Project for Visualizing Science, which is an initiative from the University of Nevada, Reno’s Reynolds School of JournalismCrystal Willis was the digital editor, and Lucia Starbuck and Brian Duggan were the editors.
