Curtis J. Nash participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on April 7, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Curtis J. Nash's responses follow below.[6]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Election reform--accessibility and stopping big money 2) Legalize marijuana |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Policies which disenfranchise the poor, since we suffer when only an elitist class of persons participate in government--this is not representative of the people. The other is the environment, because we need to be more careful and protective stewards of the natural world in which we have taken residence. If not, we only hurt ourselves.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[8]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Curtis J. Nash answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
| “ | Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton. We share a background of being outside of the entitled aristocracy, so to speak. These three independent voices broke into their positions based on a platform of ideas, not a self-proclaimed membership to some exclusive club, based on attaining equality in society. They make it seem possible for everyone to have great ideas and participate.[8] | ” |
| “ | Altruistic, empathetic, familiarity with diversity and a worldview which extends beyond one's comfort zone[8] | ” |
| “ | Resignation of President Nixon, watching his farewell on TV (1973). I was 8 years old.[8] | ” |
| “ | Delivered newspapers for the Journal-Gazette, aged 13, the only job I could get as a kid. Did this for two years, until my mother moved us out of the area when I was 15.[8] | ” |
| “ | Halloween/Samhain. When "the veil is lifted between the dead and the living" I am always happy to remember my parents and grandparents who are still a part of me, to remember where I came from.[8] | ” |
| “ | Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. Seeing our culture and society through the eyes of someone not raised with knowledge of it is very eye opening (and funny).[8] | ” |
| “ | my two cats and my books[8] | ” |
| “ | Since my life journey has not aimed for riches or hoarded gold, I have been below the poverty line for my entire life. This has created obstacles at times in the way people have chosen to regard me and my interests. In this environment, this can't be helped since the elitists in charge penalize those who do not follow them.[8] | ” |
| “ | The House writes new laws, are very specific about what these will entail. The Senate has a more overall approach, ensuring that the acts of the House adhere to a favorable set of circumstances for everyone.[8] | ” |
| “ | Indiana's great challenge may be to field a General Assembly which is representative of its citizens and working to further the agendas people care about.[8] | ” |
| “ | It is beneficial in order to achieve comfort in communication and respect for other legislators, in order to work together and synthesize beliefs into actions which represent the best of all worlds.[8] | ” |
| “ | Education, State Committee on Corrections and Criminal Law, House Committee on Education,House Committee on Environmental Affairs[8] | ” |
| “ | Mark Souder, Richard Lugar, Jill Long Thompson, Frank O'Bannon.[8] | ” |
| “ | U.S. Congress maybe, though it is more urgent and relevant to most people to work on the state level.[8] | ” |
