Ballotpedia survey responses

Fred Baker completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Baker's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- The cost of living for the average person, or family, it hard to bear. Increased salaries are what is needed. I support a $15 minimum wage for all workers.
- Utah has one of the busiest school systems in the country and pays teachers close to the lowest wages. That needs to change. I would support a tax increase if that's what it takes to improve the schools.
- Abortion (pregnancy termination) is a highly personal decision that must involve the woman and her physician. The Utah Medical Association is the only state agency that should have any input in the matter. The State Legislature has no business passing law or making any comment in the matter.
"No," said the American, "but I'm afraid you're going to tell me."
"An optimist" began the Soviet, and he made a sweeping gesture that took in Red Square and the Kremlin and Moscow and the Soviet Union and all of the Communist world "believes that this is the best of all possible worlds."
