Candidate Connection

Felicia Stewart participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on June 1, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Felicia Stewart's responses follow below.[1]

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

Ethical, transparent, accountable leadership. Focus on providing long-term, data-driven solutions to real problems (not divisive wedge issues).[2][3]

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

Public education, healthcare, job growth, environment, criminal justice reform.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Felicia Stewart answered the following:

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?

Bryan Stevenson for showing us how to get proximal to problems to truly understand their complexity, his laser focus on long term solutions and tireless public service.[3]
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
The people are the boss of you.[3]
What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?
I am running for State Representative because I expect more from the state I love. I expect our elected officials to heed their calls to public service as servants and not as paid puppets. I expect our laws to equally protect and support all of the people of this great state. I expect a fair and level playing field so that each child can reach his or her God-given potential. I expect clean drinking water, clear air and natural resources for this generation and future generations to enjoy. I expect our legislators to ask more questions, review more data, measure more outcomes, engage with more citizens, and communicate with more transparency. I expect state leaders to behave and to govern with the highest level of ethics and integrity. I expect our legislature to prioritize solutions to real problems facing Alabamians like job and wage growth, education, criminal justice reform, healthcare and environmental protection instead of spending valuable time debating non-existent problems like bathroom choice, how quickly we can kill a death-row inmate and what measures need to be in place to forever enshrine confederate monuments. These measures do not help heal our past or provide a meaningful path forward for our state.[3]
What legacy would you like to leave?
To be known as someone who saw something that needed doing, and did it.[3]
What was your very first job? How long did you have it?
I worked at McDonald's during the summer and on weekends from age 14-18.[3]
What is your favorite book? Why?
To Kill a Mockingbird. Quintessentially Alabama.[3]
What is your favorite thing in your home or apartment? Why?
Read with my daughters.[3]
What was the last song that got stuck in your head?
I'm Feelin Good, Nina Simone[3]
Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.
Relationships are critical in every facet of life. Complete agreement is not vital for relationships to be successful or for progress to be made. Compromise is necessary to establish trust and move the needle.[3]
