Ballotpedia survey responses

Cory Chase participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on July 3, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Cory Chase's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1. Prioritize funding for schools, roads, healthcare and broadband internet by fairly taxing high-profit special interests. 2.Help end the corrupting influence of dark money and corporate SuperPACs on our electoral system. 3. Redistrict House and Senate districts along county lines.[2][3] |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | • Univesal Healthcare: when people are healthy and able to get proper care, they can contribute more to the economy. • Regenerative Agriculture and Indistrial Hemp: WV is prime territory for an agricultural revolution; one that includes transitioning to low/no till, cover crops and organic growing practices. Industrial hemp can help jumpstart a variety of jobs, especially manufacturing and farming.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Cory Chase answered the following:
Is there a book, essay, film, or something else that best describes your political philosophy?
| “ | Noam Chomsky.[3] | ” |
| “ | Compassion: our policymakers must have the wellbeing of their constituents at the heart of their decision making. Transparency: legislators must be held accountable and they must answer to the people honestly. Resolve: we need leaders that aren’t afraid to stand up for everyday taxpayers and are willing to do what’s right despite pressures from monied interests.[3] | ” |
| “ | Being responsible for taxpayer dollars, making smart investments in our communities, protecting basic civil liberties and human rights, and upholding the Constitution.[3] | ” |
| “ | I believe it is beneficial but not required. New blood is needed at times and “business as usual” often stinks of corruption and malfeasance. The revolving door of policymakers and lobbyists is one of the major problems in our political system.[3] | ” |
| “ | Rising out of decades and decades worth of being oppressed as an extraction colony and embracing modern energy technologies and aggregate energy distribution models that favor consumers rights. Cleaner energy production will create lots of lasting jobs while enhancing regional energy security.[3] | ” |
| “ | Accountability and the common goal of helping their constituents by creating policy that produces systems that, above all, help people to live productive and fulfilling lives.[3] | ” |
| “ | We need proportional representation (PR), not winner-take-all. With PR, district lines are less important, meaning gerrymandering is almost nonexistent. In single-member districts (like mine) there can never be fair representation in a two-party system. PR allows for broader districts with multiple members, so that any major party usually gets a seat at the table, not just one party. This system has been shown to lessen gridlock in government and be more effective than our current system.[3] | ” |
