Ballotpedia survey responses

John Hurley completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Hurley's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I will fully support the traditional public schools that serve all students.
- I will promote legislation that protects working families.
- I will defend our Constitutional Rights - all of them and for everyone.
Unfortunately, these school programs are often the first cut when the state legislature decides to redirect support to other areas. It was that day that solidified not only my reason for being an educator, but also for running for office. We must continue to support our public schools, vocational programs, and the trades to provide these opportunities.
