Chris Bishop completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Bishop's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Giving support to law enforcement officers. Currently, officers are struggling with clear lines on the Safety Act. It's causing outright hesitation or some departments avoiding certain situations that they used to engage in. It's important to go back and set clear expectations and guidelines for the law enforcement departments.
- Making sure there is a quality education for students in Illinois. Unfunded mandates that rob schools of their resources need to be limited or eliminated. School boards and teachers should be allowed as much control as possible.
- Protecting our Constitutional rights.
