Chris Anne Dienstbier participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on April 13, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Chris Anne Dienstbier's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Expanding Medicaid 2) Lowering costs of daycare/school care for struggling families |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Reduced cost of childcare. I struggled immensely balancing the cost of child care and keeping up with monthly payments. No one should pay the equivalent of a car payment or monthly rent/home payment to be able to go to work.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Chris Anne Dienstbier answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
| “ | Senator Bernie Sanders. He has compassion for all people and has proven that over the decades of his political career. His policies are the policies I will strive to achieve.[3] | ” |
| “ | Bernie Sanders, "Our Revolution".[3] | ” |
| “ | Honesty. Not accepting bribes from corporations that are not in the interest of the people.[3] | ” |
| “ | Honesty. Passion.[3] | ” |
| “ | A better world for my beautiful six-year-old son, and all children.[3] | ” |
| “ | Too many to count. "Corelli's Mandolin", "One Hundred Years of Solitude", every year's "Pushcart Awards" publication.[3] | ” |
| “ | Cage the Elephant "Cold, Cold, Cold". I love the 60s vibe and played it for a coworker today.[3] | ” |
| “ | A true Unicameral legislature would eradicate the Two-Party system and give us representatives that represent the people. That is not what is currently happening, with the exception of Senator Ernie Chambers.[3] | ” |
| “ | No. I believe a person with compassion for their community will make the right decisions.[3] | ” |
| “ | Not gerrymandering it to the advantage of the politicians.[3] | ” |
| “ | I am focused on my Omaha community.[3] | ” |
