James Wojey completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Wojey's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Education, we need to do more with Career Tech Education (CTE). For the most part this is for high schoolers 11th & 12th grades. I think we should have programs that start earlier to train students to be ready to enter the work force with more than the basic skills.
Students should have a wide variety of exposure to jobs and the requirements to get into entry level jobs.
Not every student is going onto a 4 year university or even a local college. More needs to be done to promote higher education. - Unemployment Agency MiWAM for anyone that has ever had to deal with the unemployment agency I don't have to say much. For the rest all I can say there are huge issues with this agency and the lack of communication with people who need problems solved. I hope to be able to make changes to this agency that will benefit anyone that has a claim.
- Affordable housing/renting more needs to be done to make housing affordable. I do not believe that individuals or corporations should own 100's of houses. The state should have incentives for people to buy, build and own a home.
