A huge number of organizations — in Arizona and across the country — are letting political candidates know that the time is fast approaching for them to fill out the groups’ questionnaires — if they’re interested in getting an endorsement.

One group that has put together a questionnaire for this election cycle for legislative and Arizona Corporation Commission candidates is the Arizona Chamber of Commerce. We talked about it with Glenn Hamer, the chamber’s president and CEO.

We got a broader perspective on questionnaires from Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse Unruh Institute of Politics at University of Southern California.
