Chris Stanley completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Stanley's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- End Corruption: By repealing HB-6 and ending the influence dark money has in the Ohio legislature through comprehensive campaign finance reform.
- Funding Our Schools: We need to ensure everyone has access to quality education regardless of your zip code. This means moving away from the reliance on property taxes to fund local school districts.
- Engaging in the 21st Century Economy: Climate change is a real threat that brings flooding and rapid changes in local climate. By recognizing this fact we can encourage clean and renewable energy companies to come to the Valley, bringing thousands of good paying, union jobs.
He is an absolutely fascinating person, and is the definition of a warrior poet. His capability to express, profoundly and succinctly, the ideals of this nation have never been matched. The Gettysburg Address, in just 272 words, not only redefined the purpose of our great national calamity, The Civil War, but also redefined the very purpose of our great experiment with democracy as well. But to me, his Second Inaugural is even more profound. In this speech you can feel the terrible toll that the war had inflicted upon our nation, and upon President Lincoln himself.
He was more than just high-minded ideals. He was a shrewd politician who knew how to get things done that were right, overcoming many obstacles to do so. He put the needs of the nation above his own ego, appointing many political rivals to his cabinet because they could offer him the best council to steer our nation through the troubling times. And he continued to grow as a person throughout his life. While he was always against slavery, he didn't necessarily think that black and white people were "equal" throughout his life. However, as a man of reflection, he grew to reject those thoughts and declared that black men should have the right to vote. It was that speech at the end of the war that got him killed-John Wilkes Booth was in the crowd that night, heard Lincoln say that black men should be able to vote, and then determined to kill him.
