Joe Pereles completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Pereles' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Improving Public Safety Joe supports pay raises for our police officers and first responders. Keeping our community safe means giving our first responders the tools they need to do their jobs.
- Fully Funding Public Education Joe will vote to give pay raises to our teachers, secure a 5 day school week for all students and reduce class sizes.
- Common Sense Gun Reforms Joe supports the common-sense policies backed by law enforcement: universal background checks and red flag laws.
As an attorney and retired businessman, Joe believes we must get serious about making Missouri a more attractive place to live, do business and raise a family. Extreme right-wing policies have damaged our reputation as a state, limiting the businesses who want to invest in our communities and our workforce. Joe has the background and real-world experience we need to implement common-sense policies that make our state a more attractive place to do business.
