Collapse all
|Having spoken personally with so many people in this district, I know we all agree on most issues.
People deserve access to equitable healthcare, housing and public education regardless of their zip code. This can be done with sustainable policy and advocacy and without raising taxes on hard working folks. Springfield is a great place to live and I'm proud to call it Home. I will be a representative for my neighbors, not for wealthy corporate donors.- I will work hard to make sure our children get the public education that they deserve and that our schools are fully funded. We need to strengthen our schools and ensure that they are equipped with the tools necessary to educate children of all levels of needs.
- Access to quality healthcare is a key concern in all communities in Missouri. Making sure that people have access to all forms of healthcare helps keep costs low for everyone and it helps to protect health clinics in less densely populated areas. We need healthcare reform and this is a top priority for me in the legislature.
- Repairing our troubled economy will be a top concern in the 2021 session. This will require creative solutions and coordination across the aisles to get our economy back on track.These solutions have to keep workers and small businesses at the forefront of discussion.

Cindy Slimp participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on August 25, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Cindy Slimp's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
“ | Physical and Mental Healthcare
Public School funding including Pre-K and Local College Living Wages and Union Support Equal Rights for all Missourians[2][3] |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
“ | Comprehensive Physical and Mental Healthcare - Better funding for the Public School System, adding Pre-K - Increasing Minimum Wage and Union Support - Equal RightsCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Cindy Slimp answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
“ | My Mom - For most of my life she was a single mom. She worked very hard, sacrificed her time with us for her job and worked many hours. She taught me about being an open minded person, a kind person and a giver. She made me, a woman born in the 70's aware that any adult can love any other adult, wear whatever clothing they choose, practice any religion they follow and that its a great thing to be odd & creative. She is amazing. Also my grandmother, a mother of 8, an army mom, a mechanic an electronics master. She was hard. I wear her ring for her strength.[3] | ” |
“ | I feel that elected officials should visit with constituents regularly to hear their voices help them with issues they don't have resources for. The job of a representative is just that, to represent. It isn't to make choices for people by your own values or party, but instead to hear them talk and represent what they say.[3] | ” |
“ | I'm a manager, a leader and I don't quit. I've worked since I was 15 1/2 years old. The longest I've gone without a job since then was 1 month while looking for employment and I'll be 42 in September. I am a working person like most of you. I was very poor growing up and understand the value of a dollar. I know choosing between electricity and food, I've been there. People who work full time should never face that decision.[3] | ” |
“ | Listening to the people and following the constitution.[3] | ” |
“ | Fairness, equality and love to one another. I support fellowship and neighbors, friends and family, we need to watch out for one another and care. We need to care about things that don't affect us directly but that might affect someone we know.[3] | ” |
“ | No, I think the opposite. Our government should be ran by the people for the people.[3] | ” |
“ | This is absolutely necessary, we have to build relationships and work together in order to work for people. Nothing gets done if we cannot cross isles and seek common ground.[3] | ” |
“ | CLEAN Missouri[3] | ” |
“ | I would like to serve 3-4 terms in the Missouri House and then seek a congressional or senatorial seat.[3] | ” |
