Ballotpedia survey responses
- See also: Ballotpedia's candidate surveys
Christina Lord participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on February 26, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Christina Lord's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Fight for $15 2) Medicare For All |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Increasing the training possibilities at Technical Colleges, Trade Schools and utilizing apprenticeships. Bachelor degrees have increased exponentially in cost while not increasing the wages for those jobs that require the degrees.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Christina Lord answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
| “ | Madeline Albright said it best when she said, "It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent." Much like Madeline, I will no longer be silent. FDR was a socialist before his time. It's thanks to him we have as many programs that help everyone across the board. We need to continue his legacy of others first.[3] | ” |
| “ | Our Revolution by Bernie Sanders. We must be the change we want to have happen.[3] | ” |
| “ | Honesty, integrity, availability for conversations, having discussions, leading by example, and deferring to others with more knowledge of something.[3] | ” |
| “ | I aim running for office because we haven't had an elected official speak for us for decades. They only serve their own ideologies and those of their donors. I desire to serve the greater good of everyone, not just the upper echelon.[3] | ” |
| “ | To remember that you may serve a certain district, but you have an impact across the state as well as the nation. Nothing you do is just implemented in a test tube.[3] | ” |
| “ | I'd like to leave a legacy where we care for one another. We are not the only district in the country, nor is our country the only one on this earth.[3] | ” |
| “ | It would be a toss up between Reagan and his union busting policies, his disdain for mental healthcare or his welfare queen lies.[3] | ” |
| “ | It's one of the three branches of our government. Senate members cover the entire state, while the Representatives cover a smaller portion of each state.[3] | ” |
| “ | Not always. Sometimes it leads to elitist mentality, other times it leads to the elected officials thinking they are untouchable and everyone should lockstep behind them.[3] | ” |
| “ | There's so many things that can cause our downfall. Many are already in full swing. We need to reverse Citizens United. It has led to too many corporations behaving as if the Government is part and parcel of their businesses and they control it.[3] | ” |
| “ | There are many I would like to be a part of. Energy, Climate Change, Intel are just the ones off the top of my head.[3] | ” |
| “ | Yes and no. Two years is very short term when you're looking to change things for the better. Sometimes it can take up to 10+ years before you see the fruition of policies. At the same time, things change rapidly in 2 years. Your district can go from extreme wealth to a blighted community in that two year timeframe.[3] | ” |
| “ | I think they should be implemented. The problem that lies in that is that it would be difficult to keep moving forward if we made the limits too short, but could impede us as a nation if we kept them too long.[3] | ” |
