Surrea Ivy completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2021. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Ivy's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- It is imperative, for the sake of the American People, that there is a return to servanthood and authenticity to Government Leadership. While there is nothing wrong with acquiring wealth, no one wants to be financially destitute their entire life, one should never do that by profiting off of the pain of others and not providing sustainable and actual relief for such pain. You deserve better.
- Situations and problems can be significant, but that is not the same as complicated. Often time, what is needed is simple focus and informed forecasting. You must have intent for your actions and care about the effects of the outcome. Most of our leaders actions are convoluted, self-serving, and/or downright random and misguided without regard for truth. When lives and futures hang in the balance, leaders must be resolved to preserve and protect the opportunities for all Americans, not just those that agree with you. This requires a boldness, strength, and allegiance to truth and justice in the face of opposition and misunderstanding. You deserve better.
- The vast majority of the American Society issues stem from non-existent and poor enforcement of laws already established. It is time for leadership to hold those charged with enforcing and executing laws accountable. Understanding is not the same as acceptance; therefore, there should be no tolerance for malfeasance and excuses for not executing duties and responsibilities to the public. If you cannot and will not do your job, you don't need it. Elected officials should hold their duties and responsibilities with sobering commitment to fulfill with the fullness of their wisdom, intellect, and integrity. To offer less is an insult to the public trusts and disrespect to the very identity of America. You deserve better.
2. Justice Reform. America has the highest incarceration rate and recidivism rate. In addition, we have the most lucrative and erroneous justice system. We fail in the area of Justice. Punishment and redemption can walk hand in hand when motives and intents are right. Prisoners should grow their own food and maintain facilities. Prisoners must have a high school diploma before release. Prisoners should be responsible for clean up and rebuilding communities. Grand Jury access should be as intended and outlined by law as a means of redressing grievances with elected.
https://youtu.be/mHg7aZeQY0U. Common sense, deductive reasoning, and critical thinking solves character and moral issues. We have to got to start thinking in terms of solving the root causes of things, not the symptoms. Listen, if laws prevented behavior, America should be the safest country in the world. I mean someone sneezes wrong, and a new law is born. NO. It is the enforcement and responsibility to the law that creates change, and the law should either protect or provide accountability when freedoms are breached.
https://youtu.be/sr6LMr-rXEc. this is how I govern every decision and idea I hold. I don't expect perfection from the world, but I do expect excellence, and I do expect people to just do right. I believe in living what I preach and being authentic in every action and deed. If I love my country and people, I will demonstrate it. This is what I try to do.

Campaign website
Ivy's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
I am a 100% Advocate for School Choice.
It is no longer acceptable to just identify that there are disparages amongst the classes in America. A viable and comprehensive plan to bring growth and opportunity is of necessity. It is not okay to continue to capitalize on the pain of people without providing measurable and practical solutions. I fully endorse the Platinum Plan and will advocate for it to be apart of the economic growth and development for all communities. Some those principles I support wholeheartedly are as follows:
The Appeal of America is that we are a Nation that was designed to protect, preserve, and promote the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This is why families strive and persevere to reach our shores. We want to be that beacon of hope and healing across the world. To be that beacon, we have got to live up to our creed, stand, unequivocally, on those truths. Above all, protect them. I propose to do that in the following way:
