2020 Congressional Candidate Survey

The Coalition for American Heritage represents more than 350,000 heritage professionals, scholars, small businesses, non-profit groups, and history-lovers from across the country who work together to support and preserve our nation’s heritage resources.

We appreciate the opportunity to learn more about you and your views on the issues that matter most to us. All survey responses we receive will be posted on our web site (www.heritagecoalition.org) and social media.

We thank you for your interest in serving our country and we look forward to hearing from you. 
1.What is your name, and what state or district are you running to represent?(Required.)

3.Do you think that heritage tourism (visiting cultural, historic, and natural resources areas) is a critically important economic engine for our nation?
4.Do you support National Park Service competitive grant programs, like Save America’s Treasures and the Civil Rights Grants program, which are designed to help communities highlight places where American history was made?
