2022
Amy Galey completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Galey's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Good economy, fight inflation and keep taxes low, economic development
- Protect peoples' lives and property-- low crime, safe homes and neighborhoods-- support law enforcement
- Quality education-- have qualified workers ready to fill all the jobs that we have created-- workforce development. Includes school choice-- nobody should be shut out of the school that is best for their child because they can't afford it
Parents should be viewed as a valued partner in our public school system, not as an impediment or inconvenience. School choice is a critical part of an overall education system that meets the needs of individual children. Not every school is a good fit for every child, and family income should not be the primary determinant of whether a child can attend the school that is right for him/her.

If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
