Jonathan Defibaugh completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Defibaugh's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I want to restore West Virginia's labor movement. We've historically been a bastion of hard working men and women that come together and agree we deserve better, but with dwindling union membership and shrinking industry, that position is threatened. Let's support unions, promote worker safety, and grow small business.
- I want to improve West Virginia's health. We consistently top the charts for things like suicide, heart disease, and cancer risk. Taking mental health seriously, combatting the opioid epidemic with compassion and strategy, and supporting expansions to FMLA that allow parents or the seriously injured to take payed time off is crucial.
- I want to bridge the gap between our neighbors. We need to remember that we are all West Virginians, not just democrats or republicans, and that most people have good reasons for believing what they do. I want to cooperate with other democrats, independents, and especially republicans to build a better state for all of us.
