Dorothea White participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on April 9, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Dorothea White's responses follow below.[13]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Economics |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | I am highly concerned about how the distribution of wealth and the policies that control them seems to be least available in the NE and SE of NC. It is highly unfortunate that most upscale jobs, infrastructure and transportation updates, biomedical and digital economics are least in the areas deemed 'Rural'. Why? Most times, these areas are the first to be negatively impacted and last to receive the solutions; such as failing infrastructure, poor access to mental/physical/emotional health care and public transportation.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[15]

” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Dorothea White answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
| “ | It is difficult to pick one: Sen. Barbara Jordan, LBJ, MLK and Congresswoman Shirley Chisolm. All of these displayed strength, courage, fortitude and the desire to do what was Best for all the people during controversial times.[15] | ” |
| “ | It is not solely the agenda of the elected official that deserves precedence. You are elected to represent-as best you can-your constituency, keep them informed and communicate regularly what the issues are, offer your first hand opinion and act in the Best interest for all.[15] | ” |
| “ | No one is an island and you are not a party of one. Legislators must understand both sides of the issues. Collaboration, Listening and doing Your homework on issues is Primary to building good relationships and making objective decisions by having an open mind with the ability to sometimes 'compromise' for the greater good.[15] | ” |
| “ | Fair and impartial lines drawn with without fragmentation of communities/cities that favor bias.[15] | ” |
