Ballotpedia survey responses
See also: Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection
Jocelyn Rhynard completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Rhynard's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- We passed the right to bodily autonomy last November with Issue 1, but extremists in the statehouse immediately announced they would block and undermine those constitutional rights. I have been fighting for women's rights for years, and will continue to do so in the State Senate.
- Every child has the right to a high quality education, and working to ensure our schools are funded is the first step to keeping that promise. As someone who advocates in the State House and in Washington D.C. for our public schools here in Ohio, I have testified in the statehouse and worked with our legislators to fight for our public schools, advocate for a sustainable funding system, and fight against using billions of our public tax dollars on nonpublic schools that are not held to the same metrics or financial transparency standards.
- Our community is only strong when we make it a priority. We must attract businesses and strong, well paying jobs to the region, and keep our natural resources and freshwater aquifer clean and safe for ourselves and for the generations that will come after us.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public.
