Ballotpedia survey responses

David Sanchez did not complete Ballotpedia's 2021 Candidate Connection survey.
2016
Sanchez's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[4]
Environmental injustices
- Excerpt: "I will pass law that makes it mandatory for corporations to use the best available technology to get their pollutants down to a minimal level."
Prison industrial complex
- Excerpt: "There should be no corporation profiting off of our prison system. Outside corporations should not have a vested interest in Michiganders getting thrown in prison."
People
- Excerpt: "We must focus on protecting our current residents and stakeholders, we must grandfather property taxes and have a rent ceiling for those residents currently renting."
Opportunities and a prevailing wage
- Excerpt: "Our residents are ready to work and I will focus on making sure everybody in our district who wants to take advantage of an opportunity like this will be able to. I will see to it that we have adequate local training centers for skilled trade, and if there are any obstacles for individuals to get into a training program we will have a plan to get through them."
Education
- Excerpt: "We would be better off if our district didn’t have the highest per pupil allowance, we would be better off if every per pupil amount across the state were the same. If this was the case, then these entities in our district wouldn’t be so focused on winning students and the per pupil allowance that comes with them."
