Cody Kelley participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on August 29, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Cody Kelley's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
“ | Fully funding public education, keeping right to work out of our state, and protecting social security, Medicare, and Medicaid[2][3] | ” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
“ | Public education. As someone that used public education as a student and now works in public education, I see the strong need to invest more in our students and teachers. I believe that the youth is the best investment the state can make for our futures and that our Missouri teachers are great and deserve to have all the tools they need to do their jobs and better pay.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Cody Kelley answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
“ | Jason Kander is who I look up to a lot in politics. I think he has done a great job in trying to be very honest with people on topics. That’s been what I have tried to do is be 100% honest with the people no matter what.[3] | ” |
“ | I want people to reach out to me on my website and ask me. I answer all of the emails and all of our campaign mail. Instead of having you read someone else’s words to describe me I want to tell you and I will answer everyone.[3] | ” |
“ | Integrity, honesty, and very good morals and ethics.[3] | ” |
“ | The drive to actually follow through with my promises. Such as holding those town halls and speaking to as many of my voters and non voters to make sure their voice is always heard[3] | ” |
“ | Just as someone that remained honest in his time and worked hard for the great people of Missouri.[3] | ” |
“ | 1994 Meramec river flooding. First time that I lost my home due to flooding. I was 3 years old at the time.[3] | ” |
“ | No I don’t. It is up to the voters to decide what they want and sometimes it’s better to send someone with a fresh view on everything[3] | ” |
“ | Finding ways to fund the state budget. Currently, as it stands without fully funding education and improving infrastructure our state could start to fall behind others.[3] | ” |
“ | The relationship should be a respectful one where there is open communication. We all have to work together to move Missouri forward and parties should matter.[3] | ” |
“ | Yes. Just like in any job setting you should have a good relationship with you colleagues. Are you going to like everyone know. But as elected officials are jobs are to be able to work with everyone. No matter the party[3] | ” |
“ | 3rd party team brought in and redistrict the map so all the districts make sense.[3] | ” |
“ | Elementary and Secondary Education Local Government Ethics[3] | ” |
“ | I talked to a few residents about losing their homes to flooding. Having gone through this myself 3 times I know where they are coming from. They feel the federal response is slow and that’s if there even is any. How frustrated they are that at the state level they think their legislators forgot about them and didn’t come back and help in the efforts or try to put pressure on the federal elected officials to get things moving quicker. Those stories stick with me because we can’t forget about people as elected officials are job is to serve the people.[3] | ” |
