Crystal Golden completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Golden's responses.
| Collapse all
- Pro-life advocacy is the most important policy of this campaign. Crystal Golden believes in the sanctity of life. It should be illegal in this country to pursue an abortion. Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, states will gain the control over many of the policies regarding having an abortion. We must work to have federal legislation that supports the preborn and their mothers.
- Rebuilding our economy by enacting legislation that will assist American families and businesses by lowering taxes and de-regulating private sectors that will do better without having government control.
- We must prioritize the ability of America to be a world leader by having a strong defense. This involves fully funding our military and taking measures to avoid direct conflicts with other nations. We should try to resolve wars by exploring diplomatic communications prior to any foreign deployments, which should have the proper authorization passed by Congress.
