Each year, Arts Services Initiative of WNY asks candidates for elected office to share their positions with the voting public, with an emphasis on the roles of arts and art education in the community. Candidates for each office are asked the same questions; their answers are presented unedited.

Below is a list of all the major local races, with links to those surveys. All candidates were presented with the survey, though not all chose to participate.
