A quick note:

In this Tea With Hannah Marie compilation, you'll see the candidates answering the question,
"Have you accepted donations from developers?"

Because I had already filmed one interview before receiving this question from the audience, I recorded a follow-up with that first candidate. Wondering how to release their response I decided a compilation of all answers was best, rather than a one-off video with just that one answer.

You'll also see a post-interview update following one of the responses. At the time of the interview I was happy with the answer of financial transparency through reporting, only to later find out those reports won't be released until March 2027.
