Mike Katz completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Katz's responses.
| Collapse all
- The rule of law - the notion that the law must apply equally and fairly to both those in power and regular people -, is fundamental to our democracy, as well as to the peace, justice and the prosperity of the American people. I support strengthening the judiciary and revoking criminal and civil immunities for those acting under color of law.
- Freedom requires privacy. Technologies of mass surveillance - license plate and other surveillance cameras, cell site simulators, app and website trackers -, make it possible for both public and private entities to follow almost our every movement, action and thought. We've seen how ICE uses this tech to find and arrest its victims. I support strict limits in the use of mass surveillance technologies.
- Government matters. From building roads to assuring the safety of our food and water supply, from funding education and research to healthcare, and protecting us from harm and exploitation, strong government institutions are essential for maintaining our freedom and general welfare. Yet Republicans are working to weaken and destroy those institutions. In Congress, I will fight against those efforts.
