Iziah Thompson completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Thompson's responses.
| Collapse all
- Iziah's campaign is focused on lowering prices of housing and utilities, ending medical debt, and reigning in the power of big tech by pushing protections for children and teens and halting all data center construction. Iziah believes that we must abolish ICE, end genocide, and ban stock trading in Congress.
- We must push back against the threat to our democracy that is the Trump Administration and MAGA. We must have fair elections, safe transfers of power, curtail corruption, and put an end to the idea that domestic and international law applies to some and not all. To truly oppose Trump, NJ-12 needs a Congressperson who isn't tied to corruption systems and corporate donors.
- Beyond serving as opposition to Trump, Democrats must provide real solutions to the problems facing Americans. The time for machine politics and empty platitudes is over. Iziah is offering bold leadership for the people of New Jersey's 12th district, backed by and grounded in the working class.
