2022
David Davis completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Davis' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Term Limits. We need term limits at both the State and Federal level. I do not believe that Congress and State Legislatures intended our elected officials to remain in office for life.
- Police Reform. Qualified Immunity needs to be reformed. It seems that Qualified Immunity has become a “Get Out of Jail, Free” Card, for many police officers.
- Carbon Capture Pipeline. I believe that the Carbon Capture Pipeline is an abuse of the intent of eminent domain in Iowa and the country.
I am also passionate about the right of self defense. I will not support any additional restrictions on the right to own firearms. I also support a Constitutional Amendment affirming the right to own firearms, in the state of Iowa.As a Libertarian, I support choice in education. I believe parents should have more of a say in their child’s education than government. I will continue to support open enrollment, in Iowa, and look to improve school choice for Iowa parents and children.
