Jacob Wenck completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Wenck's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- The war on drugs must end. No sane society would make it a crime to for individuals to ingest substances for medical, or recreational, or religous reasons
- Martial law polices have gone way too far in the United States. Under no circumstances should the government enforce lockdowns, curfews, checkpoints, or medical procedures.
- We have neglected to recognize 18-year Olds as adults in our society. Currently it is unlawful for adults under the age of 18 to possess alcohol, tobacco, or gamble yet they are still expected to register for the draft and can be tried as an adult in a court of law. Its time that we restore the rights to young adults that have been denied.
