Ballotpedia survey responses

Avery Renk completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Renk's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Fighting through gridlock. I know firsthand that most voters with rural backgrounds vote republican. I will use my extensive farming connections to have conversation with rural voters, which will in turn pressure their lawmakers.
- Getting teacher’s raises. It’s unacceptable that our public school teachers are paid well below the national average while 11% of our states education budget goes towards private schools. This money should be redirected so that we are paying our teachers what they deserve.
- Expanding access to healthcare. Being one of only ten states to accept the Medicaid expansion is indefensible. Luckily for republicans, they’ve never had to defend it because Robin Vos won’t bring it to the floor. That will change with this session.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public.
