Esther Scott completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Scott's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Infrastructure - Business grows when infrastructure is in place, increasing availability of goods and services and providing employment. Communication infrastructure focuses on the availability and power of wi-fi. Transportation infrastructure builds on business and public transportation over roads, rails, water, and by air. Utilities provide homes with safe drinking water and electric, as well as businesses with energy and cooling for manufacturing. Constructing, maintaining, and modernizing our infrastructure will help our state to continue to grow.
- Minimum Wage - Minimum Wage hasn't been raised since 2009 and tipped minimum wage hasn't increased since 1991. At the very least, minimum wage should reflect the effective minimum wage of $10 to protect our most vulnerable who are not in position to change jobs or transport themselves to better employment locations. Likewise tipped minimum wage should be at least 50% of minimum wage, as originally intended, instead of frozen at $2.13.
- Protecting the 1st, 2nd, and 10th Amendments - The Bill of Rights is the backbone to our country's Human Rights: Separation of Church and State; the Protection of Freedom of Speech and the Press; and The Limitation of Federal Powers while Protecting State and Individual rights.
