Jay Walton completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Walton's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Marylanders are tired of never-ending tax hikes. The Biden administration is going to make sure we are overtaxed at the federal level. As your delegate, I will oppose any new taxes at the state level! And I want to know exactly where our tax dollars are going. I will demand transparency and accountability in Annapolis!
- The radical “Defund the Police” movement has crippled our brave men and women of law enforcement and made communities across the state significantly more dangerous than just a year ago. I will always DEFEND the police and support them in any way I can to help them do their job and keep Marylanders safe.
- As an educator at both the K-12 and college level, I have watched our schools and institutions crumble slowly over time. Students in Maryland are being taught that America is a racist country. As your delegate, I will oppose and be outspoken against Critical Race Theory. My message to the teachers unions and school leaders is the same as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s message: “Teach our children to judge a person not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
