Brooke Chong completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Chong's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Make Gov't work with Kansans and not against them. Representatives need to do just that represent the *people.
- Protect our Constitutional freedoms, not take them away.
- Unite and amplify the voices of my communities.
Reproductive Freedoms - Reproductive rights matter because they give all people access to safe reproductive health care. Meaningful ways to reduce the need for abortion need to be expanded.
During Covid, I saw first-hand the impact government has on its citizens, and what happens when elected officials fail to show up. Hundreds of thousands of Kansans lost their jobs and the unemployment system was inundated with an influx of people trying to apply for assistance, many didn't get that assistance. When those people tried to contact their local representatives, nobody answered. So, they called the news station and I answered. While legislators slept, I was up during the night taking calls from Kansans struggling to find relief. I helped them get in contact with programs that could help them during their greatest time of need.
