John Pickerill participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 17, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and John Pickerill's responses follow below.[5]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | Restore the freedom to live the American dream. "Freedom" must be more than just a buzzword: 1. Personal freedom means being able to exercise your human rights however you see fit as long as you aren’t preventing someone else from doing the same. 2. Economic freedom means being able to trade anything you own with whomever you want, as long as the exchange is voluntary and mutually agreed to, and is not fraudulent. 3. Individual property rights means you as the owner have ultimate decision-making authority over how your property is used, as long as it doesn't harm someone else or damage their property in the process.[6][7] | ” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | 1. Reduce taxes and government spending. This will allow individuals to keep more of the fruits of their labor. This will allow private organizations and charities to provide more effective services to the people. 2. Reduce state regulations. This will allow individuals to live more freely and have more control over their own lives. 3. Protect Colorado citizens from federal mandates that are not authorized by the U.S. Constitution.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[7]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. John Pickerill answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
| “ | Former Congressman Ron Paul.[7] | ” |
| “ | The Law by Frederic Bastiat[7] | ” |
| “ | An elected official must understand that the fundamental role of government is to secure the inalienable rights of the people.[7] | ” |
| “ | Revolution: A Manifesto by Ron Paul.[7] | ” |
