Jim Toomey participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 9, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Jim Toomey's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1. Alabama must accept the Medicaid Expansion option that is available to us. We are leaving billions of dollars on the table each year.
2. More funding for Public Education, especially High Quality pre-k. We must prepare our students for 21st century jobs. 3. Corruption of our Public Officials. We must restore the confidence in our Elected Officials.[2][3] |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Alabama is a State that is rich in natural resources. Did you know that 10% of all the freshwater in the Continental United States either originates in or flows through Alabama? I will fight to protect our valuable Natural Resources and be a good steward for our environment.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Jim Toomey answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
| “ | Rosa Parks has always been a hero of mine. She is an example of an ordinary person, like me, who stood up for what was right and consequently helped to change the world. Always do the right thing.[3] | ” |
| “ | The most important characteristics of an elected official are honesty, integrity, and compassion.[3] | ” |
| “ | I have always served my community by volunteering my time for the good of the community. I am a problem solver that knows how to compromise in order to get things done.[3] | ” |
| “ | The core responsibilities of this position is first and foremost to represent ALL the people of this district (47). And to do your homework on the issues that face Alabama so that you can make an informed decision that best represents your constituents.[3] | ” |
| “ | A better future for the people of Alabama through a stronger middle class.[3] | ” |
| “ | My first job was being a ""Paperboy"". I was 13 and kept the job for 3 or 4 years. That job taught me how to be accountable for my responsibilities.[3] | ” |
| “ | My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Family, food, and giving thanks.[3] | ” |
| “ | Experience is important. New ideas are more important.[3] | ” |
| “ | Adequate funding for Public Education.[3] | ” |
| “ | The most important ingredient in a relationship is trust. Trust must be earned. You earn peoples trust by always telling them the truth and treating them with respect.[3] | ” |
| “ | A good redistricting plan should favor neither political party.[3] | ” |
| “ | No.[3] | ” |
