Jasmine Taylor completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Taylor's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Healthcare is a basic human right. This includes access to mental health services, substance abuse treatment, and a woman's right to choose.
- Income inequality must be addressed for the good of the nation.
- The environment, including water and access to public lands, must be protected immediately.
I believe healthcare should not be a for-profit industry. Everyone deserves quality, accessible healthcare.
Montana must address its substance abuse crisis and the stigma around mental health services.
The minimum wage must be raised. No one working full time should be living in poverty.
Women should have complete bodily autonomy.
Recreational marijuana should be legalized. The revenue accrued should be used to fund our drastically under-funded public schools.
Vital services should not be privatized. Prison, healthcare, and education should remain in the public realm.
Millionaires in Montana should not be paying the same tax rate as those making less than $18k. We must re-evaluate our current tax brackets.
Public lands must remain in public hands! Our public lands are vital to our tourism, recreation, and way of life.
Global warming is a real and impending threat to all of us. Montana must commit to renewable energy immediately.
