Ballotpedia survey responses

Justin Borden participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on September 6, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Justin Borden's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | Affordable Healthcare & Prescription Medication Affordable Higher Education Fully Funded Public School Education[2][3] |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Education is the foundation of success, and helps to create well rounded, informed people. Once a person becomes passionate about learning, they never stop. I've worked for a time in education, and there are few things more joyful then seeing a child or teen take the building blocks of knowledge you've given them, and run with it all on their own.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Justin Borden answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
| “ | Theodore & Franklin Roosevelt are the pinnacle of what I believe leaders should be, and both profoundly set America on the path to prosperity & equality. They were progressive leaders for their time, who pursued what America should be, not what it had been, or was.[3] | ” |
| “ | Integrity Directness Conviction Bravery[3] |
” |
| “ | When I'm gone, if the people of New Hampshire or the United States should say of me that I have served honesty, with integrity, with absolute commitment to our founding principles of Liberty & Justice, and done so in pursuit of whats right, & good. Then I shall have left a legacy worthy of an American Representative.[3] | ” |
| “ | September 11th, 2001. I was about 6. I recall panic, and confusion, little else, I've only ever known post 9/11 America personally.[3] | ” |
| “ | Dress Shoe Salesman, at the height of the Recession. 4 months until I quit on account of the very poor prospects.[3] | ” |
| “ | My date's dress got stuck in my car door, I slipped and fell on the icy pavement trying to unhook her, inadvertently tearing off most of her lower dress. Made up for it by lending her my overcoat and we continued the date, had a good time even. But when I returned her home & had to get my coat back, I had to explain to her mother why she was in little more then her underwear & the top half of her dress.[3] | ” |
| “ | Festivus, always a good time when you get to air grievances with your friends and family, and explain your celebration of an otherwise made up holiday to others.[3] | ” |
| “ | Lex Luthor, not because hes a villain, but because he is the smartest man in the world, and has to defeat Superman & all other DC characters thru the shear power of his intelligence, this appeals to me because I greatly enjoy solving problems with limited resources. That he was also President of the United States doesn't hurt. Wouldn't mind being Batman either...[3] | ” |
| “ | Childhood Arthritis. It is a debilitating condition that will get worse with time. Thru a lot of effort, trial & error, and a commitment to working thru the many limitations, I've been able to keep pace with my peers. But the daily pain, stiffness, & difficulty standing does take its toll some days. I remain determined to surpass those limits.[3] | ” |
| “ | No, it is more important that they have a vision, and ideas. Better a talented amateur then experienced ineptitude[3] | ” |
| “ | Attracting & retaining young people. Education is too expensive, & there are few opportunities for them here. This will eventually cripple NH's economy, and lead to a sharp decline as older workers retire.[3] | ” |
| “ | They are Equal branches of the government. Representatives & Senators are not subservient to the Governor, & it is their responsibility to ensure that relationship.[3] | ” |
| “ | Non-Partisan, apolitical commission, with court oversight. Legislators cannot be trusted to fairly administer the redistricting process, and cannot be allowed to influence it in any direct way.[3] | ” |
| “ | Education, Ethics, or Judiciary.[3] | ” |
| “ | No I am not interested, I am opposed to party leadership, as it distorts the democratic process and creates extreme partisanship. As a Representative I am beholden to people of New Hampshire, not the Speaker, Minority/Majority Leader, Whips, or Party/Committee chairmans.[3] | ” |
| “ | Federal Office certainly is appealing, but the Governorship of New Hampshire is of great interest to me, I would love to serve in that capacity.[3] | ” |
