David Hinckley completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Hinckley's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
I used to be as conservative as they come, but for decades, I grew more and more alarmed at the growing extremism on my side of the aisle. I spoke with my elected officials frequently and begged them to push back. And as reasonable as they seemed at times, they almost always went with the extremist crowd, afraid of getting primaried and kicked out of office.
So I went looking for solutions, and I found them in the Forward Party, a party with a viable path to actually change the incentives that have gotten us here. As part of a growing movement of Forwardists, I'm running to create an improved political system where fewer extremists are produced and society's biggest issues get addressed.- Election Reform
The way we vote creates every incentive for us to have a left and a right convincing all their supporters that the other side is evil. Of course, the dynamics of social media have only magnified this in the last 20 years. The result is that few bills are passed, both sides become more extreme, and our country grows dangerously divided.
Ranked Choice Voting, Independent Redistricting, and Primary Reform really can break this cycle. These reforms will break the two-party system, and we'll get a world where *several* parties present competing visions for America, and the one that inspires the most support through ranked choice will have a real mandate to govern. - Good Government I just want our system to work well. The major parties are often driven by short-sighted ideology, not by thoughtful research. They listen to opinion makers, not to experts. We have one side that wants to eliminate big programs that people count on, and another pushing for a European-style state. Let's start with what we've got and run it well. Reform it where needed, listen to voters about what's working and what's not, and let experts weigh in on pragmatic and sometimes creative solutions. I'd like to focus on good government.
- Non-partisan solutions Housing Prices are out of control. Right-wing voices in Utah oppose building anything but single-family houses that don't fix the problem. Left-wing voices want walkable communities with small units that almost always exclude families with kids. I'll work with housing experts to deploy solutions that strike the right balance. Education Each year, public education in Utah braces for another round of ideological bills. Right-wing voices want to gut public schools at every turn. Left-wing voices are uninterested in the innovation coming from charters and others. I'll work with educators of all kinds to push policies that help them succeed.
