John Woodard completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Woodard's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Romans 13:1-7 lets us know that government was ordained by God and tells us we should have a peaceful relationship with governmental authority.
- 1 Timothy 2:1-4 instructs Christian believers to pray for our political leaders. Many times, we are left praying for men and women who do not have the moral conscience to cast the right vote for our children, our seniors, our community. We are left hoping the career politician will do what is right. We need a Daniel representative in our government. I will faithfully stand.
- “Duty is ours; results are God’s” -John Quincy Adams We have work to do.
