Gary Chaffee completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Chaffee's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I want to help small businesses in our area, because I believe small business owners should be able to sleep at night, not worrying about higher taxes and inflation and governmental over reach. Instead, they should be able to focus their energies on creating better goods and services for our community.
- I will do everything in my power to ensure that our families and streets are safe from illegal immigrants who are making their way into our community. I want stricter laws against gangs that are recruiting our minor children and I will vote against giving any one the right to vote that is not legally registered. Cobb County is a high sex trafficking area and I will vote for any legislation that protects innocent women and children. Our First responders and police need better wages and more community support.
- I am pro-Constitution and I believe that we need less Governmental regulations in our lives and more upholding of the laws we already have. Bureaucrats and unelected officials are making too many decisions without "We the People" being involved. I will always vote in a way that upholds the U. S. and Georgia Constitutions.
Lower taxes - for our people and business owners.
