Ballotpedia survey responses

Cassandra Levesque completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Levesque's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|- Our teachers are professionally trained educators who consistently act in the best interest of students while balancing competing pressures and I will continue to support them in any way I can. All students have the right to safe, quality education from early childhood through post-secondary college or career training. I will work on behalf of our children and make sure that they are not hungry in school and I will fight any attempt to arm teachers or militarize schools under the pretense of school safety.
- All people must have access to affordable, safe, legal, and accessible health care including contraception and abortion care regardless of geography, income, or insurance coverage and free from government interference. I oppose bans on abortion and other measures that add barriers to accessing care as arbitrary and unnessary infringements on individual liberty, freedom and privacy that pose a risk to patient health and wellbeing.
- New Hampshire is a wonderful place to live but we can make it better for families by having a livable wage, affordable housing, we must adress the homelessness crisis, and protecting workers' right to join a union. We must create employment opportunities for veterans, help them overcome homelessness, substance use disorder and suicide. We will not get where we need to be by inaction or ingnorance. We must see the issue, address the issue,find solutions and move into the future.
We must stand up for our children's right to full unrestrictited educaiton. I will work on behalf of disabled children so that all children with disabilities will have access to high-quality, inclusive, safe programs that provide individualized and appropriate support so they can fully participate alongside their peers without disabilities and achieve their full potential.
Is it one or two? One … or two?

2018
Levesque was featured in an article published by The New York Times following the 2018 election. The article stated that her top priority as a newly-elected legislator was to pass a bill raising the minimum marriage age in New Hampshire to 18. Prior to her election, Levesque had successfully called on the New Hampshire State Legislature to raise the minimum marriage age from 13 for girls and 14 for boys to 16 for all. Her other priorities were to enact a state minimum wage above the federal rate of $7.25 per hour and to encourage youth to move to New Hampshire.[1]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
