Angela Justus Schweller completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Justus Schweller's responses.
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
Proper funding for our public schools; Investment in infrastructure; Responsible budgets
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
Adequate funding for public education is a strong point for me. I grew up in Johnson County, attending public schools from kindergarten to getting my Bachelor's Degree at the University of Kansas. I'm now raising my family here, where my two kids attend the Olathe Public Schools. As a realtor, I realize that this is our main attraction here, and what pushes our economy. To neglect our schools would do great harm to our state.
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
While out canvassing, people express they want someone trustworthy and honest, and who will work across party lines. I am that person.
What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?
In real estate, I work with all personality types, in high-emotion settings. It is imperative to work with the other side in order to come together and get the transaction closed, for everyone's common interests. This quality of working in a "win-win" situation will be beneficial to help put an end to the divisiveness going on in our legislature.
What was your very first job? How long did you have it?
My first job was at a dry cleaners where I made a "training wage" of $4 an hour!
Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.
I do think it's important to build relationships with other legislators. The more communication going on, the more likely to come to common ground.
What process do you favor for redistricting?
I think our districting should be done by an independent, non-partisan group.
