Elijah Tidswell completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Tidswell's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Education: We need to give parents and students a voice instead of purely listening to burecrats tell us what is best for our kids. We need to add more transparency into what is being said and taught in our school. We also need to realize that college isn't for everyone and give students an opportunity to get a Career Technical Education to expand our trades and give students a new route to success
- Public Safety: After a bill called the 2017 Criminal Reinvestment Act was signed we saw a spike in violent and nonviolent crime especially in SD24. We need to return to the fines and punishments that we had before that bill was enacted so we can protect people and businesses alike
- Human Trafficking: Its no secret that Trafficking is sky rocketing here in Montana. We need to work together with tribal governments to find a real solution to this problem as well as provide more dedicated officers so that nothing slips through the cracks while we try to end modern day slavery
