Jade Pearson Ramsdell completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Ramsdell's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Medicaid Expansion and Rural Healthcare Protection: Bridge the healthcare coverage gap by advocating for Medicaid expansion, particularly in rural areas, where 58% of hospitals are at risk of closure due to financial strains and limited patient coverage. This initiative is crucial to address hospital closures, doctor shortages, and limited insurance options, ensuring all Kansans have access to essential healthcare services.
- Protecting Personal Health Decisions- Reproductive Rights: Protecting individual and family personal health decisions, including reproductive rights, is crucial for the well-being of women and families. These rights include access to essential services like prenatal care, safe childbirth, contraception, and safe, legal abortion. Attempts to restrict these rights violate fundamental human rights, including privacy and freedom from violence, and hinder individuals and families from making choices that align with their health and circumstances. Despite strong support from Kansans to safeguard these rights on August 2, 2022, there are ongoing unjust efforts to limit access to reproductive healthcare.
- Education and Infrastructure for Economic Resilience: Ensuring quality education and modern infrastructure is pivotal for our community's economic resilience. By investing in public and early childhood education, we prepare future generations and attract businesses, fostering job creation and innovation. Coupled with strategic improvements in roads, schools, high-speed internet, and housing, we secure a prosperous future and sustainable growth for years to come
