Ballotpedia survey responses

Analisa Roche completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Roche's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- All human life has inherent dignity, whether in the womb, on death row, in an immigration detention center, or experiencing a crisis pregnancy.
- America is desperate for connection and community, which will lead to depolarization of our country. Our infrastructure must support encounter.
- We must support families better, financially and culturally.
1. Commitment to Human Dignity – the nominee's stance on sanctity of life, human rights, and justice for marginalized groups would be key considerations.
2. Social Justice and Common Good – The nominee’s track record on economic and social justice, including issues like labor rights, environmental protection, and healthcare access, would be scrutinized.
3. Adherence to Constitutional Principles – Respect for constitutional democracy and the nominee's judicial philosophy, especially regarding checks and balances, would be essential.
4. Integrity and Impartiality – The nominee's ethical standards, fairness, and ability to remain impartial in interpreting the law would be critical.
1. Investigate Corporate Misconduct – Using investigatory powers to expose abuses related to workers' rights, environmental harm, or economic exploitation, in line with my focus on social and economic justice.
2. Examine Government Accountability – Investigating potential abuses of executive power or failures in government programs, ensuring policies serve vulnerable populations and uphold ethical standards.
3. Highlight Human Rights Violations – Focusing on investigations related to human trafficking, immigration policies, and civil liberties, aligning with my advocacy for the dignity of all human life.
4. Investigate Healthcare Issues – Investigating pharmaceutical companies or healthcare systems that contribute to inequitable access to care, consistent with my commitment to healthcare as a human right.
