Ballotpedia survey responses
See also: Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection
Adnan Dhahir completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Dhahir's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Middle Class Representation
- Cut the deficit
- Tax reform
Tax reform where every tax payer pays the fair percentage of income obtained. No special rules to allow corporate higharchy to get paid in stocks or other ways just to be taxed at a lower rate. Income is income. I feel this will lessen the load on the middle to lower incomes and that will produce more spending and expand our economy.
Transparency
I was turning 31
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
Campaign website
Dhahir's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
I will demand or be transparent on who is working together and who is not. This office is for the will of the people not a party. FEDERAL LEGALIZATION OF MARIJAUNA I have after much thought and research decided to support legalization of cannabis. Companies like Amazon removed it from their drug testing criteria and the federal tax dollars gained will help reduce our national debt. Our detention centers are filled with non violent marijuana offenses and it just doesn't make dollars nor sense to continue to criminalize the substance.[3] |
