Brandi Polanco completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Polanco's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- New Mexico has been last in education long enough and it's time for a change. The idea that if we continue throwing money at the problem, maybe it will fix itself doesn't work. We need to be inclusive with decision making when it comes to what is best for the students of New Mexico. A one size fits all approach doesn't work and we need options for students and parents.
- I believe in the sanctity of life. New Mexico is leading the nation in abortion and suicide. There needs to be measures put into place to protect life.
- If New Mexico can get better in education, we can get better jobs and opportunities this in turn will improve our economy making New Mexico a better and safer place to live.
