Charlotte Harris completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Harris' responses.
| Collapse all
- My primary incentive to run for public office is to protect access to rural health care. Health care is personal, not political and I will work across party lines to find funding for rural clinics and hospitals. With the dismantling of the Affordable Care Act, 35 rural hospitals in Kentucky are at risk of closing including the one I worked at for three decades! In rural areas, hospitals are a major employer and a critical part of the community.
- Working class Kentuckians are struggling to pay for the basic necessities of life. Our minimum wage is $7.25 and has not been raised since 2009. That is shameful! Kentucky also adapted a regressive tax code in 2019 which favors the rich and penalizes the poor. This needs to change. I will fight for better, higher paying jobs in my community. This will require investment in infrastructure, including water, electric and broadband.
- I support protection of women's health. The current law is inhibiting Ob. Gyn. doctors from safely caring for their patients. Kentucky's near total abortion ban is forcing physicians to wait for a patients condition to deteriorate to the point of near death before intervening for fear of prosecution. We need a more reasonable approach to these most difficult and dangerous situations.
