Benjamin Hagin completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Hagin's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I am pro Choice, I will work to remove the laws that when into effect when Roe was overturned.
- Public education is the best investment we can make in society. We have underfunded public education in Missouri for decades. I will work to increase that funding.
- I am pro union, growing up in a union household, I understand the pay and benefits that come along with a union job can make a stronger middle class. That can afford more goods and services that in turn create more jobs.
Education, both of my children graduated from the public school system, so even though I do not have kids in school, it is still the best investment we can make in society. We are 49th in state funding for public education and 50th for starting teacher pay. We have had a race to the bottom under GOP control and they have won that race. It is time to start reversing some of the bad policy they have enacted over the last 20 years.
