Ballotpedia survey responses
- See also: Ballotpedia's candidate surveys
Jack Love participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 16, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Jack Love's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Resolving the healthcare crisis with Universal Healthcare 2) Attacking Income Inequality by reallocating budget from military to domestic spending on infrastructure and repealing the Tax Cut for the rich. 3) Protecting the environment by strengthening the EPA, enforcing existing laws, and confronting climate change with an exit from fossil fuels towards renewable energy.[2][3] | ” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | I'm passionate about the national debt. I find it disgusting that the current generation is saddling the children with insurmountable debt. The greed on display daily in America makes me irate.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Jack Love answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
| “ | I believe Barack Obama will go down as one of our best Presidents. He inherited an economic disaster. He got us through it without any help from the GOP. He was always smart and acted based on facts, not emotion. He was able to reestablish America as a leader in the world and regained the stature we lost under Bush. All the while, he displayed strength and compassion. Plus, he got Bin Laden.[3] | ” |
| “ | JFK - The Movie. The Military Industrial Complex gained control of our government after his assassination and now has a tighter grip than ever.[3] | ” |
| “ | Honesty, Integrity, and Intelligence.[3] | ” |
| “ | I'm very honest. I actually care about helping people and our country. I'm not trying to enrich myself. I want to leave a country worth having to my three young daughters.[3] | ” |
| “ | Listen to the constituents. Propose legislation that will help them to better lives. Stop the deficit spending. Living on credit cards cannot last forever. Do not sell out to donors. They are not more important than average Americans.[3] | ” |
| “ | Someone who was able to move the country in the right direction after decades of going backwards. Someone who actually made a difference for the people. Someone that showed loyalty and received it back as well.[3] | ” |
| “ | Murder of John Lennon. I was 11 at the time.[3] | ” |
| “ | Busboy/Waiter at the Caesars Palace Showroom buffet. Worked there my junior and senior years in high school.[3] | ” |
| “ | I had an argument with an overly aggressive solicitor who was handing out flyers for local adult clubs. I waved him off and said no thanks, but he continued to get in the faces of me and my date. So I used some profanity and told him to get out of my way. My date was not happy but she got over it. We are now married.[3] | ” |
| “ | Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. The weather is great. All the family is together. There is lots of food. Best of all, we get a full day of football.[3] | ” |
| “ | 1776. I'm in awe of the founding fathers and George Washington in particular.[3] | ” |
| “ | I'm not much into fiction. I'll say Dr. Doolittle because he could talk to the animals.[3] | ” |
| “ | Our piano room is my favorite because all three of my daughters and myself play. Some better than others. But it makes me proud and reminds me that time and effort must be expended to achieve anything worthwhile.[3] | ” |
| “ | Nobody Told Me - John Lennon. I heard it this morning on the Beatles Channel. It's not a song they play a lot. The lyrics are just amazing.[3] | ” |
| “ | Maintaining a positive attitude is always tough for me. I've always been a cynic. But, as the great George Carlin said, inside every cynic is a disappointed idealist.[3] | ” |
| “ | Short terms of 2 years. In theory, this should make representatives more attuned to the needs of the people.[3] | ” |
| “ | Sure, some experience is always helpful. I do not believe it is required however.[3] | ” |
| “ | 1) National division. How can we, as a country, heal and work together? How can we remove greed from its dominant spot atop our national behavior? 2) How can we transition to the new economy and provide all citizens with equal opportunity? How can we pay off our national credit card debt? 3) How can we preserve the earth and its resources for the animals and future generations of humans as we deal with the destructive forces of climate change and human greed?[3] | ” |
| “ | 1) Health and Human Services so I can provide insight into real world problems with healthcare. 2) Appropriations because even the greatest ideas will go nowhere without adequate funding. 3) Oversight because the rampant corruption must be addressed and the traitors must be held accountable.[3] | ” |
| “ | N/A[3] | ” |
| “ | Yes, it is the people's house. The people have the opportunity to grade your performance and decide if you are worth keeping on the job.[3] | ” |
| “ | I'm ambivalent. I believe that the people have the ability to vote out bad reps every two years. Voters should accept the responsibility and participate. On the other hand, incumbents are given many advantages that allow them to be re-elected at an incredibly high rate. My bottom line is that the voters should do their job which can overcome any advantages given to incumbents. The vote is the ultimate weapon.[3] | ” |
| “ | Geography should be the highest priority. When that is not possible, I favor a random, computer generated model.[3] | ” |
| “ | Of course I would love to be in a position of leadership. I have confidence that my ideas are correct. I would love to implement them.[3] | ” |
| “ | I like Ted Lieu. His policy positions are comparable to mine. His opinions on the current administration match mine. Best of all, he has a great sense of humor.[3] | ” |
| “ | There are several stories involving folks that have not been able to receive life saving healthcare. Our country doesn't seem to prioritize keeping our citizens alive. The impact on the affected families is felt for multiple generations. I have also heard many similar stories regarding the tragedy of gun violence.[3] | ” |
