Alan Curtis participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 8, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Alan Curtis's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | Education, Healthcare, Protection of Civil and Religious Liberty[2][3] | ” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | 15 Executive Departments are the foundation of over 585 Agencies, Offices, Administrations and over 80% of these Departments are
unconstitutional. I would like to see the Constitution audited to hold the federal government to the contract (Constitution). They only have the power to do what the states give them. These departments are not accounted for in the contract.Cite error: Invalid |

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Alan Curtis answered the following:
What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?
| “ | Protect the Constitution. Pass/repeal legislation that supports the former.[3] | ” |
| “ | Idaho Army National Guard. Nine years.[3] | ” |
| “ | 36-18-1. If you cannot work with other legislators; you cannot get legislation passed without a majority vote. You need 36 legislators, 18 senators, and 1 governor to pass legislation. No one can do it single-handedly.[3] | ” |
| “ | Education, Health and Welfare, State Affairs[3] | ” |
| “ | If needed. I will fight against the establishment to restore our freedom when necessary.[3] | ” |
| “ | Regulations and government overreach are affecting many people in District 28. One case we have where licensing restrictions prevent mental health specialists from doing their job they're trained to do: help their patients. Another problem I have listened to is where our school system failed a constituent's son, and therefore the son dropped out. The son is now in the workforce contributing to society as a tradesman, but cannot drive since he is 16-18 years old and not attending school. Disappointment more than anything that we as citizens have let our state government grow to a ridiculous size and overreach into our lives.[3] | ” |
