Ballotpedia survey responses
See also: Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection
Chris Phelen completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Phelen's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Securing the Border and Stopping Illegal Immigration
- Economic Growth, Reducing Inflation, and Creating Jobs
- Improved National Security and Empowering the U.S. Military
It is imperative that we resolve the border crisis by stopping illegal immigration at the border and deporting those who try to enter our country uninvited. Our economy is doing well for Wall Street but not for Main Street. We need to halt inflation, lower taxes, and create more jobs to ensure that our economy flourishes now and into the future. We must defend our country from enemies, both foreign and domestic. To do so effectively, we must maintain our dominance as the world’s greatest military power and ensure law enforcement entities have the funding they need to perform their jobs.
