Candidates seeking ADA-elected offices prepared the following platform statements and profiles for the ADA News. Each candidate was sent a profile form with the same questions and asked to list no more than five items for professional memberships, volunteer posts/elective offices and main qualifications. Publication of these statements and profiles should not be construed as an endorsement of any candidate by the ADA News or other staff of the ADA or its subsidiaries. These statements and profiles are provided as information for Association members.

The candidates included are those who—as of press time—had decided to seek national office through the upcoming Association elections held concurrently with the Oct. 2-6 House of Delegates meeting in Honolulu. If more than one candidate is running for an office, the candidates are listed in alphabetical order. Elections for contested races will be held Oct. 5. Candidates in uncontested elections will be declared elected at the first meeting of the House on Oct. 2.

Statements are available online to ADA members only.
