Andy Hoverman participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 30, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Andy Hoverman's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | Transportation, Health Care, Environment.[2][3] | ” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Criminal Justice reform is high on my list because as a practicing attorney, I see the inequities in our system. I see the problems for what they are, and do not have any issue leading the way about how to build a more just justice system.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Andy Hoverman answered the following:
What legacy would you like to leave?
| “ | I would like to leave a legacy of making sure I left office (whenever that may be) leaving a better world than when I went into office. We must lead on environmental issues in particular, as climate change is real and will be continuing to impact our lives.[3] | ” |
| “ | My first job was answering phones and making pizza at a Domino's. I was 15 years old, and I've been working - around school - ever since.[3] | ” |
| “ | I think a healthy debate about ideas is a good thing. Even where there is party dominance in the legislative and executive, the founding documents of our state (and country) usually lays out a system where there are checks and balances.[3] | ” |
| “ | It can be beneficial to know any co-workers, so building relationships with legislators can be important. Knowing where you can find common ground can be important if you are looking to accomplish bi-partisan backing of legislation.[3] | ” |
| “ | The judiciary would be a committee I would have interest in serving on given my background. As an attorney, I see full-time what the part-time legislature passes (or doesn't). I know the real world consequences of the legislature's action or inaction.[3] | ” |
