Augusta Christensen completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Christensen's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- We are at an inflection point with a new Baltimore City Mayor and a new presidential administration. We need strong leadership in Annapolis to coordinate funding the initiatives that will bring Baltimore out of crisis.
- Despite being a deeply blue state, Maryland does not have gender equity at any level of government; in fact, our Congressional delegation has no women at all. We need a state government that looks like Maryland, and that means electing qualified women to every office.
- I grew up in Maryland and have worked in Maryland politics for years. I have the experience and knowledge to deliver for Baltimore, and I'm passionate about meeting people where they are and responding to their needs.
Transportation
Civil rights (including but not limited to racial justice, social justice, environmental justice, and LGBTQIA+ issues)
Election reform (specifically making it easier to vote and automatic voter registration)
Reproductive justice
Public safety
Improving the quality of life for everyone in Baltimore
Responsible development
As a Baltimorean and a political scientist, I also have deep admiration and respect for Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is the most effective speaker in generations.
Ideally, the governor would sign into law legislation passed by an overwhelming majority of the legislature, and work towards a shared vision with the legislature. I'm incredibly hopeful that this will be Maryland's reality after the 2022 elections.
