Ballotpedia survey responses
See also: Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection
Joshua Rodriguez completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Rodriguez's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- California needs more God and less government. We need to have common beliefs and values as Americans. We have become divided with matters unrelated to policy like race and identity. Those things are not the governments business and should not be a topic for debate. What you do in private is not the governments business, as long as it doesn't violate someone else's freedoms.
- I want to disrupt and stop the government's encroachment on our freedoms; like our parental rights, medical freedom, gun rights, what we eat, or what you drive.
- We need less regulations and taxes to promote business from small too big. Taxes have become the endless fat on the sides of government. There is no economic prosperity in taking money you are working hard for to create an unfunctional government program. Virtually and arguably, every government program is a failure, and collapses under its own weight. Regulations are just the same and choke an already crippled California economy. A free market should determine winners and losers, not any government.
