Ballotpedia survey responses

John Elleson participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on February 26, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and John Elleson's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Jobs |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Dealing with the drug epidemic, opioid addiction. I know of about 8 people in our church with relatives who have died of heroin overdose in the last year. It’s a real issue. We need to stay on the jobs issue and do everything we can to promote Good Job Creation. We need good high paying jobs for those who get out of high school and college. When I got out of high school, if you didn't want to go to college, you could go to work at Caterpillar, start out at $22.00 an hour, and that was 1980. We have to change this and get back to good high paying jobs. I also think we need to be working harder on the addiction issue. Our kid's futures are getting hurt with bad choices and the traps of addiction. Education, skill and vocational trade training. Personal responsibility for all areas of our lives, especially the younger generations, so they could have the best future possible. We should be investing in a decade of rebuilding our national infrastructure.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]
