Ballotpedia survey responses

Hao Wu completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Wu's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Providing better funding for our Title 1 schools to ensure quality education for ALL children.
- Increasing the access of healthcare to South Carolinians and decreasing costs.
- Ensuring that infrastructure advancements are made to fix our roads, light our neighborhoods, and reduce vehicle fatalities.
Unfortunately, my experience is not unique. Our healthcare system is overworked and our communities are underfunded. Over half a million South Carolinians are living without health insurance. In 2016, our legislature could have extended healthcare coverage to our hardworking friends and neighbors who don't have big salaries, our single parents making minimum wage, and our grandparents living on fixed incomes. Yet, they didn't.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
