Justin Maffett completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Maffett's responses.
| Collapse all
- Responsibility. Most people don’t encounter government when things are going well. They encounter it during a medical emergency, a housing crisis, a benefits delay, or an unexpected interaction with law enforcement. Or during the current period of unprecedented Presidential overreach.
- Restraint. Good government should stabilize Americans’ lives, not cause harm and disruption. It should act with clarity, fairness, and restraint—especially when the stakes are high.
- Renewal. I’m not running to add more noise. I’m running to make government work again. The stakes are too high.
