Alexander Schnell completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Schnell's responses.
| Collapse all
- I'm running a bottom-up campaign because I think representatives should be present, accessible, and accountable to the people who live here. My focus is on showing up, listening, and keeping decision-making close to the district.
- I prioritize reforms that give residents more influence over their government. That includes term limits, greater transparency in federal records, and cleaner campaign finance practices that keep local voices at the center.
- I believe the current system makes it too difficult for independents to participate or get on the ballot. I want to make the political process more open, competitive, and accessible so every voter has a fair path to be heard.
