Jonathan Herzog completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Herzog's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Universal Basic Income - $1,000 per month for every American adult and $500 per month for every American child. We're going through the greatest economic and technological shift in our history. Before COVID-19, in the world's financial capital, 1 in 6 New Yorkers couldn't meet their basic needs and 1 in 5 storefronts were closing. Before COVID-19, 1 in 3 Americans were at risk of permanently losing their jobs to new technology. Martin Luther King Jr. championed the fight for a universal basic income - while it does not solve every problem, it makes every problem easier to solve.
- Universal Healthcare - Expand Medicare to cover all Americans. We spend nearly double what other countries do on healthcare to worse results. Before COVID-19, life expectancy in the U.S. had declined for three years in a row due to "deaths of despair" -- drug overdoses and suicides. More than 1 million New Yorkers are uninsured; healthcare is the leading cause of bankruptcy. We need to cut the cost of prescription drugs, invest in innovative technology, change the incentives for healthcare providers, shift our focus to preventative care, and invest in mental health.
- Publicly Financed Elections - $100 clean election vouchers for every American adult. The corrupting influence of money in politics is at the root of nearly every issue we face, from climate change to gun safety. Politicians spend 50% of their time dialing for dollars. Democracy Dollars would drown out big money in politics by increasing the number of small donors, empowering all voters, diversifying candidates, and making Representatives accountable to the people. We should also overturn Citizens United, eliminate super PACs, and adopt ranked-choice voting for all federal elections.
