Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Flynn Broady answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
| “ | I look up to the Kennedy brothers, John and Robert, for the importance they placed on civil rights. I admire Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lewis for their work in the civil rights arena. Equality and rights for all are important to me.[2] | ” |
| “ | Willingness and a strong desire to serve others; integrity and the courage to do what is right at all times; strong moral and ethical values; compassion and love for all our citizens.[2] | ” |
| “ | I am of strong moral and ethical character. I have a true willingness and desire to serve our nation. I have done so for the past 36 years, 26 years in the U.S. Army and 10 years with Cobb County in Georgia. In that time I have clearly demonstrated the courage to do what is right and hold others accountable to do the same. I have compassion and love for all and want the best for all our citizens.[2] | ” |
| “ | The core responsibility for any elected official is to be the voice of his or her constituents. To make decisions and develop policies that enhance their lives. To promote their needs and wants and not their own self interest or the interest of others when they are in conflict with the best interest of our constituents.[2] | ” |
| “ | I would like to bring our nation to a point that our diversity is appreciated. That I be known for bringing out the best of who we are. That the narrative will no longer be one of hate, but one of peace, love and togetherness. As a nation we have to much promise to allow the current narrative to define us. We have much more in common than we have differences, we must focus on this commonality and make this nation what it was intended to be. A melting pot of all the best ingredients reflecting all that is good in this world.[2] | ” |
| “ | The death of Martin Luther King Jr., what he stood for. Equality! Equality of opportunity, being judged for ones character and not the color of their skin. His message is rooted in our founding documents and as a nation our ultimate goal should be to fulfill the ideas that our nation was formed upon.[2] | ” |
| “ | My first job was delivering newspapers. I had a paper route in Browns Mills, NJ. Every morning my younger brother and I would get up before dawn and ride our bikes, throwing papers to all our customers. I did that job for probably a year at the age of 12. A truly valuable lesson on what it means to rise early and get a job done.[2] | ” |
| “ | It was a blind date. A friend of mine set me up to go on a double date with him. I didn't know that he really had a crush on the young lady he was introducing me to, but did not have the courage to ask her out on a date. She was a very beautiful girl but the two of us did not have anything in common. My friend spent all night ignoring his date and getting to know my date better.[2] | ” |
| “ | Christmas is my favorite holiday. I enjoy giving gifts and seeing small children and others when they open their gifts. The joy, family, and love on this day is just amazing to me. For most of my time in the service I was able to come home for Christmas. 2006 was the exception, I was serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. It was the only Christmas that I was not able to spend with my daughter. I wasn't able to call her to wish her a Merry Christmas, as we were on a communications lock down. Christmas Eve we loss a Soldier during a mortar attack. I was upset Christmas Day because I was not able to call home. That quickly changed when I thought of the family that was receiving a knock on the door that their Son had died. Truly humbling.[2] | ” |
| “ | The Bible is my favorite book. When I am stressed or just feeling down, I always find words of encouragement reading the Bible. In my worst times it has been my comfort and strength and given me reason to know that all things will work out.[2] | ” |
| “ | Everything about my home is my favorite. My wife and I are blessed to live where we want to live, in a house that we are so thankful for. I walk to work, walk to church and we can walk to numerous entertainment venues.[2] | ” |
| “ | A gospel song. The words are: "I lift you up, I magnify your name." The song brings tears to my eyes as I reflect on how much God has done for me in my life.[2] | ” |
| “ | My greatest struggle in life while serving in the U.S. Army was being away from my daughter, her formative years, when she needed me most. I have done everything I can to make up for that time, being the best father I know how. I still feel as though I let her down.[2] | ” |
| “ | Its uniqueness comes in that each member represents approximately the same amount of constituents and as a result are equal in their ability to make a difference in the lives of our citizens.[2] | ” |
| “ | I believe it is beneficial for a representative to understand that they are there to serve their constituents. Hire individuals that are smart and hardworking, and that make a good team.[2] | ” |
| “ | Our greatest challenge will be to fix our culture. We currently have a culture of violence and hate that is promoted in our national media. We have to change that to reflect the truth about the majority of Americans. A culture of love and compassion, a willingness to do what is right, that is the culture we need our media to promote.[2] | ” |
| “ | Armed Services; Education and Workforce; Ethics; and Veterans Affairs.[2] | ” |
| “ | I actually think it should be four. Two requires that representatives be in constant campaign mode and takes away from the importance of the work needed to be completed in Washington.[2] | ” |
| “ | I think term limits should be determined by the voters. Voters need to be informed as to their representatives voting record and the overall job they are doing. If they are not doing what is in the best interest of their constituents they should be voted out.[2] | ” |
| “ | I favor an independent non-partisan commission be used to draw the district lines. Lines should not be configured to favor partisan, racial or economic groups.[2] | ” |
| “ | Whatever role my peers feel that I best help meet the goals of our constituents.[2] | ” |
| “ | I am constantly hearing stories about healthcare. Either the lack of it because of the current policies negating the benefits of the ACA or how the ACA has saved lives at the start of it's implementation. These stories are heartbreaking and encouraging at the same time. We have a chance to change lives and that is what our focus needs to be for our constituents.[2] | ” |
