John Curry completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Curry's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
Curry spent seventeen years trying to unite the people in the United States to peacefully work together to solve community and individual problems and create opportunities using cooperative economics. With this in mind, he published The New Revolutionary War: An American Firefighter’s Dream to Help Save Humanity, in 2005, proposing a peaceful revolution based on his simple ideas and philosophies. In running for public office, John again hopes to help bring about world peace.
- People should expect certain things from their government. Those things are expressed and implied in the Declaration of Independence and in the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States. Partisanship and lack of accountability are working against the stated purposes of our government and working against the people, in providing for their safety and happiness. Therefore, partisanship and lack of accountability are both unconstitutional.
- People in the USA (and simultaneously in other Countries) should unite, peacefully, and work together to directly solve community and individual problems and create opportunities using grand scale cooperative economics and other tools and systems we might choose to create.
- We should always strive for world peace, because as long as anyone is socially or economically disadvantaged, we are all socially and economically disadvantaged.
