Candidate Comparisons As the general election nears, voters want to know where candidates stand on issues such as ending the U.S. occupation of Iraq, expanding military spending and eliminating nuclear weapons. Peace Action has done the research and created Candidate Comparisons for the U.S. Presidential candidates and for the New Hampshire Senate candidates. We will have comparisons of the Congressional candidates for both NH District 1 and NH District 2 available after the primary.
