Joe Sturm completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Sturm's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|- “The egregious claims of the IEDC that they can reallocate water resources within the district in favor of the LEAP project corporate interests is the “watershed issue” (pun intended) in House District 41. I will be an advocate in the Indiana House of Representatives for individual and community property and resource rights against such claims. The use of taxpayer funds to promote corporate interests, solar farms, wind farms, CO2 sequestration pipelines and storage and other nefarious activities anywhere in Indiana is a clear and present danger to all Hoosiers.” • Stop LEAP and the IEDC - protect our rural and agricultural lands from outside interests.
- The rigged and stolen presidential race (and other federal offices) of 2020 demonstrated that there is much to be desired in the area of election integrity. • Secure Indiana elections - vote on Election Day only using paper ballots.
- Runaway taxes and fees is crippling the free enterprise system and citizens' ability to earn a living wage and attain financial prosperity. • Make massive cuts in state spending - reduce and eliminate Hoosier’s taxes and fees.
