Cristina McNeil completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by McNeil's responses.
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
I will work to find common ground for common sense solutions for Healthcare, Education and Immigration reform. Improve access to medical care, pass Medicaid expansion, and address healthcare and prescription costs. Expand educational opportunity which makes stronger families, a better Idaho and a stronger country. Comprehensive immigration reform with increased agriculture and business guest worker permits, removing uncertainty in alleviating labor shortages.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
Most important, I seek to build an economy that works for the middle class. We are one community, one Nation. All Idahoans deserve to prosper. I will fight for the people. I am not a career politician. I will represent the hard working people of the district. I do not have political debts and favors to repay. People want new leaders.
