Expand all | Collapse all

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a strong believer in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I am an Evangelical Christian. I have lived and raised my family in rural Utah for the last 20 years. I am the daughter of a retired Navy veteran. I have a great respect for our Military and know first-hand what the families go through while their loved ones are serving. I have lived in both large cities and rural Utah.

My political beliefs are based in the fundamental freedoms enumerated in the Constitution of the United States. It is our moral responsibility as citizens to shoulder the role of Constitutionally limited self-government. The constitution specifies the duties of the members of Congress in Article 1, section 8. That is the job description and anything other than that is beyond the powers delegated by the people to them. I am willing to stand up, represent the people of this district and bear the responsibility to take those duties seriously and to stay within the constitutional boundaries. Deciding which course of action to pursue is clearer when you have the primary goal of making decisions that are based on the foundational belief of protecting liberty.

I am a strong proponent of the 2nd Amendment, without it there is no way to protect the rest. I am a certified firearms instructor. A member of Gun Owners of America (GOA), NRA, and United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA). I am a year round volunteer for Operation Christmas Child. I am currently a student at SUU.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• We the People
• Second Amendment
• Sixteenth Amendment

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Legislation that takes power from the people and gives it to the government

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Absolutely. Everyone who is a citizen needs to read and understand the Constitution of the United States.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

The core responsibilities for anyone elected to the House of Representatives are enumerated in Article 1, section 8. But in a nutshell ... There are only two things you have to do as a representative. Your first responsibility is to the Constitution of the United States. Read it and follow it. If it isn't in it, you can't do it. Secondly, your responsibility is to the people you represent. If it is within the boundaries of the Constitution, you do what the people want.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I think the biggest legacy I could leave is making sure that my grandchildren can grow up in a Constitutional Republic and have the Liberty that the Framers of this Country envisioned for them.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The first historical event that happened in my lifetime that I remember, was the Iran Contras Affair. I was only 10 or 11 at time.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

It is the branch closest to the People, who are the Government. As a representative you have the best opportunity to bring their needs to the National level.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

No. A government of the People need to have your average person representing them, not politician out for their own interests.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Yes

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Term limits are built into the Constitution. In the case of the House of Representatives, there is a term of two years. It is the responsibility of the People to determine if they re-elect a representative. If you are dissatisfied with how you are being represented then you limit their term by not voting for them.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

I believe that compromise is sometimes necessary, but not at the expense of those you represent.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

This is extremely important. The best way for the People to maintain control of the government is for their representatives to stop spending their money on things they don't want. Anything that falls outside of the Constitutional boundaries should not be funded.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.

Campaign website

Easley’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Cassie Easley is a strong believer in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. She is an Evangelical Christian. She has lived in rural Utah for 20 years. She’s the daughter of a retired Navy veteran. She has a great respect for our Military and knows first-hand what the families are going through while their loved ones are serving. Having lived in both large cities and rural Utah, she feels it gives her a better insight into the varied needs of this district. Her political beliefs are based in the fundamental freedoms enumerated in the Constitution of the United States. It is our responsibility as citizens to shoulder the role of Constitutionally limited self-government. The constitution specifies the duties of the members of Congress in Article 1, section 8. That is the job description and anything other than that is beyond the powers delegated by the people to them. She is a person who is willing to stand up, represent the people of this district and bear the responsibility to take those duties seriously and to stay inside constitutional boundaries. Deciding which course of action to pursue is clearer when you have the primary goal of making decisions that are based on the foundational belief of protecting freedom. She is a strong proponent of the 2nd Amendment, without it there would be no way to protect the rest of the Bill of Rights. She is a certified Firearms Instructor for Concealed Carry and Home Defense. She is a member of Gun Owners of America (GOA), National Rifle Association (NRA), and United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA). She is currently a student at Southern Utah University (SUU). She is a proponent of unintrusive, fiscally responsible, constitutionally limited government.	”
