Candidate Connection

Jason Noble participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on August 22, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Jason Noble's responses follow below.[2]

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

Wages, Infrastructure, Water[3][4]

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

Separating money from politics so voters can have a say in their government.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[4]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Jason Noble answered the following:

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?

Harold Washington because he spoke plainly, came from the middle class, and was able to work for the benefit of his constituents.[4]
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
Someone who is an honest broker, who comes to the table with good and honest intentions.[4]
What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?
To represent Michiganders of any political party and to provide a seat at the table of business and social issues.[4]
What legacy would you like to leave?
I hope to create a better education and wage outcomes and opportunities.[4]
What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at that time?
The first major historical moment I remember is Operation Desert Storm.[4]
Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?
I believe it can be beneficial to know the legislature rules, operations, parliamentary procedures. But I also believe politicians can be entrenched and influenced by lobbyists with no term limits and require new ideas to combat old prejudices.[4]
What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?
Creating an economy that will work for all of us, that will give more people opportunity to grow te middle class and small businesses.[4]
What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and the state legislature?
A check and balance. It is the legislature's job to create bills with broad support for the Governor to review and sign.[4]
Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.
Absolutely. But it is important to not become transaction based and keep one's independence and vision for legislating.[4]
What process do you favor for redistricting?
Non-partisan, commission based, voters should choose politicians.[4]
If you are not a current legislator, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?
Natural Resources, Education, Health Policy, Veterans Affairs.[4]
If you are not currently a member of your party’s leadership in the legislature, would you be interested in joining the leadership? If so, in what role?
Whip.[4]
Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?
One recurring theme is that Michiganders from all backgrounds (agriculture, veterans, law enforcement, labor, education) all feel as though they can't have upward mobility because of income inequality. Because we don't make sure employers pay a living wage so that people can start their own small business and repeat the process.[4]
