The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has published a comprehensive voter guide for the 2020 United States Presidential election targeted toward members of the architecture community.
The guide, according to the AIA website, collects the policy positions and proposals for "all candidates who seek a major party nomination," and is "based on their campaign platforms and, where applicable, previous votes/work on the issue at hand." The organization makes clear, however, that "AIA makes no candidate recommendation with these profiles. We are not endorsing a candidate. The information provided below is for your consideration as you make your own determination on the candidates."
The guide hones in on six policy areas—climate change, housing, resilience, school safety, student loan debt, and taxes on business—and collects a mix of policy proposals, news reports, and legislative writings to explain each candidate's position.
See the following link for the guide: 2020 US presidential candidates on architectural issues.

Simple comparison charts - like this one - would make clear that Sanders' #NotMeUs agenda goes all the way on every single issue that matters for an architecture of peace, justice, health, culture, and the environment. The architecture "industry" can benefit from massive investments in domestic infrastructure: housing, green new deal initiatives, expansion of public education, health care for all, and the inevitable lifting of the middle class that much needed tax reform can deliver. Perhaps most importantly, a Sanders administration will bring an unequivocal shift away from the eco-cidal war industry, which diverts many trillions of dollars away from the Architecture of Peace no prior President has ever had the wisdom to demand and the audacity to build; and, an equally unequivocal shift away from industries of unbridled greed that have for so long been obstructing, and deliberately undermining, the construction and maintenance of just and healthy communities. If we are going to avert a global climate catastrophe, there is no middle ground, and there is no other candidate who is so fully committed than Sanders. https://voteforbernie.org/
