Bobbi Hicks participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 9, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Bobbi Hicks's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1.)Being a servant to the people of my district,
2.) Working to repeal unnecessary and unconstitutional laws & regulations , 3.) Ensuring the people of my district are heard by my fellow State Senators .[2][3] |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Legal reform, because so many people find their right to due process, their constitutional protection from illegal search & seizure and other rights violated by law enforcement, the justice system & bad laws created by those elected to represent them.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Bobbi Hicks answered the following:
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
| “ | Honesty, integrity, the courage to challenge the status quo, being able to listen to & abide by the will of the people, placing the rights of the individual over that of the State, special interests, lobbyists and corporations.[3] | ” |
| “ | I understand the people of my district, because I am one of them. I have a good working knowledge of the Bill of Rights, faith that people can be self-determining, self-sufficient, and generally don't require constant supervision.[3] | ” |
| “ | Aside from being a Libertarian elected to office I would like to leave a legacy of fighting for the rights of all equally, as well as fighting to return the liberty and freedoms which have been slowly eroded away since 9/11.[3] | ” |
| “ | I actually consider every holiday my favorite. I enjoy hosting family & friends and celebrating, because life is too short not to.[3] | ” |
| “ | I can't choose a single book. I am a voracious reader, and love a good book.[3] | ” |
| “ | My family and two cats. Why should be obvious.[3] | ” |
| “ | Not really, because typically an "experienced" candidate is a career politician. I don't know who said that "Politicians and diapers should be changed often and for the same reasons", but I agree with that sentiment.[3] | ” |
| “ | Poverty, Cell phone/ internet access in rural areas, addiction & a lack of treatment centers, county jail & state prison overcrowding.[3] | ” |
| “ | Possibly, but only if I received enough support and encouragement to do so.[3] | ” |
