Gazette readers have had their say ahead of the General Election and now we've put the onus on the candidates to respond to your demands - but only very briefly.
We revealed the results of our Teesside Manifesto survey last night and today gave candidates the chance to reply in the space of a tweet.
Gazette readers chose support to bring big businesses to Teesside, greater investment in roads, fair treatment over council cuts, bringing empty homes back into use, keeping the private sector out of the NHS and cutting the benefits bill by helping people into work as their priorities.
Steve Turner, UKIP's candidate for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland, was the first to answer our call - although he spread his message across two tweets.
Lib Dem Richard Kilpatrick said he shared most of the demands presented by our readers.
Labour candidates Alex Cunningham, Louise Baldock, Anna Turley and Andy McDonald sent their views while Conservative hopefuls Jacob Young, Simon Clarke and James Wharton were also in touch.
You can read the responses we've received so far below (widget may take a few seconds to load).
