Heather White completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by White's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|- I support reproductive rights and bodily autonomy. Reproductive rights and bodily autonomy are crucial for ensuring individuals have control over their own bodies and lives. They empower people to make informed decisions about their reproductive health, including access to contraception, safe abortion, and comprehensive healthcare. Upholding these rights promotes gender equality, supports public health, and respects individuals' dignity and autonomy.
- Quality education and affordable childcare are essential investments for a strong economy. They enable parents to participate fully in the workforce, boosting productivity and economic growth. Moreover, they foster a skilled workforce, driving innovation and competitiveness, while also reducing income inequality by providing all children with equal opportunities for success.
- Advocating for climate-friendly policies is crucial for mitigating the impacts of climate change and preserving the planet for future generations. These policies not only reduce carbon emissions and pollution but also stimulate innovation and job creation in sustainable industries. By prioritizing environmental protection and renewable energy initiatives, we can safeguard ecosystems, public health, and global stability.
