Jonathan Daly-Labelle completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Daly-Labelle's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- A significant part of the reason I am running for State Rep is that Westerly generally has a record of being a “lean blue” community. Voters in District 37 should have the choice of voting for a candidate who may be more inline with their values. The incumbent has a voting record of being anti-choice, opposing many common sense gun regulations, supporting many gun use expansions, was primary sponsor of legislation in 2023 that amounted to a book ban, and strongly opposed legislation that would have replaced the out-dated, only state in the nation to celebrate, Victory (over Japan) Day with Peace and Remembrance Day.
- Jonathan is pro-choice, in favor of reasonable gun regulations, prioritizes LGBTQ rights as human rights, and sees the issues of housing and health care through a prism of human rights. “During these very uncertain times, and a crucially important presidential election looming, it makes sense for voters, and community members in general, to consider how their state legislators stack up on all these issues. It makes a difference now, and maybe even more so in the coming years.”
- We need more office holders who prioritize issues of social, racial, economic, and climate justice. While there are limitations to what any one person can get done, it is my hope to be a small cog on lifting up issues of housing, health care, education, climate, social services, voting rights, better wages and worker protections.
It taught me a lot about responsibility, work ethic, keeping a schedule, keep track of finances, interactions with adults, customer service, and life in general. One sees the world differently at the street level, walking or biking along.
