Elections and Chiropractic
There is a difference between candidates on the issues. Information here will be taken directly from the candidates sites, or news articles about them. Presidential campaigns are the main elections that can affect the commissioning of chiropractors, however, Senators and Representatives can also affect this issue. Of course there’s not much going on regarding this topic right now, but there will be. If you have information regarding the Presidential candidates a Senate or House of Rep. campaign please let us know so that we can include that information on this page.
