Ballotpedia survey responses

Jeromey Sims completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Sims' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Texas needs to expand eligibility for Medicaid to help more Texans get access to the health care they desperately need.
- Texas needs to adequately fund our education system - education is a right of our children, and we should not trade it away.
- Campaign finance reform is a necessity to prevent corporate sponsors from determining Texas policy.
The office requires the ability to work with other to reach amicable solutions, regardless of their political affiliation. It also requires that the representative hold members of their own party responsible for their actions to maintain the integrity of our legislature.
The office requires a willingness to listen to experts, instead of replacing truth with ideology.
Both houses have been controlled by Republicans for several years, and that has led to a breakdown in bipartisanship. I would hope to bring back the spirit of cooperation between both parties, regardless of which chamber of the legislature they work in.
Our state also has to address the lack of healthcare available to its residents. We are especially short of nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals. While the state continues to refuse to expand Medicaid, providers are leaving the state for greener pastures, and our citizenry suffers. We need to address the lack of healthcare state-wide.
