Benjamin Kincaid completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Kincaid's responses.
| Collapse all
- WA-01 deserves a practical Democrat focused on results, not slogans. I support evidence based policymaking, accountability, and measurable outcomes. Voters in this district want progress that is realistic, effective, and grounded in the real problems families face every day.
- Affordability and quality of life are at the center of this campaign. Families are being squeezed by housing costs, healthcare costs, and a tax system that feels disconnected from real life. I support reforms that help working and middle class households keep more of what they earn and live safely in the communities they call home.
- I am willing to speak clearly about issues many politicians avoid, including public safety failures, homelessness tied to addiction and severe mental illness, and the need to protect women only spaces and women’s sports. Voters deserve honesty, courage, and a representative who will put community safety and basic fairness ahead of political cowardice.
