Evan Bell completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2023. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Bell's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- The economic agenda of the country is a choice. People need real leadership to address the rising cost of everything - from the cost of groceries, to rent and mortgage payments, to student loan debt. We need to lower the cost on everything.
- Joe Biden needs a strong progressive voice in Congress that will fight for lower and middle class people.
- Student loan debt is crushing the future of American families - and we have to do something about it now.
