What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Creating a public option healthcare system 2) Protecting public education |
” |

|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Dale Mantey answered the following:
What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?
| “ | I am a 28 year old epidemiologist, meaning I approach everything from a data-driven perspective. As a scientist, I stand up for science. Further, I am from a town of 5,000 people that has experienced the devastating effects of lost manufacturing jobs. We are a rust belt town in the middle of central Texas. This combination of backgrounds makes me an ideal candidate for central Texas.[3] | ” |
| “ | You must show up. We have a representative that blocks users on Facebook and twitter. He refused to hold in-person townhalls. Simply put -- he refuses to show up. I will change that. I have held nearly a dozen town halls, just through the Democratic Primary.[3] | ” |
| “ | I want to always represent my district. Not my donors, not even my party. I will always represent the people of Texas 17th Congressional District.[3] | ” |
