Alena Ericksen completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Ericksen's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|- Individual Rights: medical freedom, free market, privacy
- Educational excellence: parent-led, local values, improve curriculum
- Defend state sovereignty from federal overreach: reclaim Utah land, protect our state from federal EOs that conflict with our Constitution, get Feds out of our education.
As mentioned above, we need to improve Utah's educational system by empowering parents and teachers to work together and lead education instead of bureaucrats, the Feds, and private interest groups. Lastly, in a day of rising inflation, I believe that Utah can utilize our state motto of industry and thrift to combat inflation. We need innovative ideas to help our people be able to afford housing, gas, and food. I want to collaborate with the best minds to work towards solutions in the state. We need to recognize federal overreach on several accounts and we need strong leadership to defend our state when the feds are operating outside of their jurisdiction.
