Amile Wilson completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2023. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Wilson's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- The crime and infrastructure in Jackson is untenable. We need state solutions to help fix these issues and correct a system-wide failure.
- Mississippi industry is over-regulated. It's time to open up the markets for competition to help our economy and the consumer.
- It's time to create an educational system that incentivizes children - not the system itself.
Too many failed attempts at legislation have created failed policies on crime, housing, education and other key industries. I'm passionate about setting systems that work - and work right the first time!
