Cinque Mason completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Mason's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Cracking down on corporations — We have got to have a multi-industrial crackdown on the corporations that strangle our country (Big Ag, Healthcare, Defense, Tech, Oil, ski resorts, and real estate conglomerates, to name a few) and hold them liable for the costs they have incurred in our environmental, social, and financial degradation. They have broken codes of ethics by keeping societally beneficial technologies to themselves — technologies that can reverse the decline of our environment, lives, and small business, all in their attempts to increase their profits. They have chosen a path of self-enrichment at communal cost. We must trust bust these entities and return the economic power back to the citizens.
- Cutting the defense budget, stop all financing to Israel #FreePalestine, and stop our endless wars abroad are necessary actions of our government. Not only because this constant war identity was forced onto us by the War Mongering Elite that does not accurately reflect us Americans, but it is also does the opposite of what it claims. They say we must have a big defense budget for our enemies around the world. Our diplomatic and militaristic mishandling of Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Yemen is what creates our enemies. There will be a time, if this continues, that when we need friends and allies there will be none because we have shot and bombed them all. Finally, I cannot stress this enough: Free Palestine at all costs.
- Reducing executive power — It has become apparent to all that the president has too much power and sway over our country. Having the country on a pendulum of special interests, all depending on who is in office, is not the way this country was set up, and it’s not how it’ll survive. There needs to be a strengthening of our checks and balances, such as congressional wartime powers, freedom of speech, and the separation of personal business interests and politics. There also need to be new reforms, which I believe should be earmarked by democratizing the executive cabinet. The people should have the right to vote in and out who we want to see lead these influential domestic and international roles.
We must protect the land and the people. For a long time that was interpreted as foreign invaders, but for America, the threat is within. The chemical/industrial waste output and corporate greed that takes advantage of our behaviors and freedoms will extinguish America.
Just some of the things I would want to investigate are:
The war on drugs
Global war on terror, and give answers to the veterans and citizens of our country, our allies, and our former foes on our false claims of WMD, and our hyper-militarization in Afghanistan, Yemen, and others
Shortcomings of DOJ—Is there a better path than current punishment for rehabilitation of people convicted of crimes?
Why are so many people that are going to jail ending back up in jail?
Why are so many veterans homeless and in destitute financial positions after discharge?
What have been the shortcomings of BIA, and why is there such high drug usage and low life expectancy on Native American reservations?
Why is there such high drug usage in Appalachia?
