Ballotpedia survey responses

Emilee McCartney completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by McCartney's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Medicare for All is not just a smart policy—it’s a necessary one. Over 30 million Americans remain uninsured, and 75 million are underinsured. In the wealthiest nation in the world, this is unacceptable. A universal healthcare system would ensure access to quality care for all, reduce the burden of medical debt, and ultimately save the country money through a more efficient and equitable system. It’s time to prioritize the health and financial security of every American.
- Immigration has long been a divisive issue, often lacking real solutions. I believe the process should be seamless and accessible to those seeking a better life. Immigrants are not a threat—they are essential contributors to our society and economy. For our nation to remain strong and sustainable, we must embrace a common-sense approach that values humanity while strengthening our borders. My plan offers a practical path forward, grounded in compassion, security, and economic responsibility.
- The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities in our economy, particularly our overreliance on foreign manufacturing. Revitalizing domestic production is essential, but it must be practical and forward-thinking. Investing in sustainable industries like hemp-based textiles and leveraging the economic potential of legalized marijuana can generate revenue, create jobs, and stimulate innovation. From medicine to manufacturing, these industries offer real opportunities to strengthen our economy and build a more self-reliant future.
