Ballotpedia survey responses

James DeHart completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by DeHart's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- We need to ensure that our democracy continues. Without democracy, healthcare would crumble, safety net programs would buckle, and free and fair elections would cease to exist. Without democracy, the United States of America would end.
- We need to ensure that all of our public schools are funded adequately, if not robustly. A great educational system will help create great communities.
- One of the biggest elephants in the room is the fact that people cannot afford to keep a roof over their heads. Rent is higher than a mortgage payment and there is no equity to be earned by renting. Homeownership is credit based and is often a barrier to those in lower incomes to being able to afford their own home. We also need to work with the private sector to turn derelict buildings into affordable, sustainable, healthy and clean housing.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
