Dennis Simpson Jr. completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Simpson's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Government spending is out of control! We are over thirty four trillion dollars in debt and still spending at record pace. That is $34,000,000,000,000! Let's compare one dollar to one minute of time. If you went back 34T minutes in time you could ride a dinosaur. Divide that number by the number of citizens and we all owe nearly $100,000 each, including each of your children. Double that number for adults since children aren't paying taxes, then add more since a lot of adults do not pay in either.
- Florida needs to hold firm to the 10th amendment for states rights and self governance. Government should be as local as possible for maximum transparency and accountability.
- The war on drugs has been an utter failure. It has cost this nation trillions of dollars in tax revenue while being the excuse to militarize our police against us. Unconstitutional search and seizure, no knock warrants, asset forfeiture and red flag laws are examples of freedoms and due process being stripped away from us. The black market thrives on breaking laws to gain power, further incentivizing crime.
