Ballotpedia survey responses

Justin Pizzulli participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on March 29, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Justin Pizzulli's responses follow below.[2]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) The Economy |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | I have always had a passion for business, I have an MBA from Marshall University. I know how to put together a plan and make Southern Ohio the best place for businessesCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[4]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Justin Pizzulli answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
| “ | I don’t know that looking up to any man or women is a good choice. Especially politicians. You will be disappointed every time. I always have been anyway. Humans are by nature, sinners. I look up to Jesus Christ and how he changed the world. I try to lean on God and when we surrender he shows us the way.[4] | ” |
| “ | My favorite movie is an old Frank Capra film staring James Stewart, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” It’s about a newly appointed U.S. Senator who, even when no one else believes in him, he fights against the establishment and the corrupt political system to do what is right. It almost kills him but he makes it. I relate to this because in my race I am fighting the same sort of political system. Any book that is non-fiction is my favorite book. I love learning, I consider it a hobby. History, politics, and business have always been my favorite subjects.[4] | ” |
| “ | Always doing what is best for the people of Southern Ohio, not what is best for the State House or the special interests[4] | ” |
| “ | I have a Master’s of Business Administration from Marshall University and Realtor and entrepreneur. But aside from my education, being honest for one. I have a keen sense of creativity and innovation. The idea of creative destruction is very important to me. I’ve worked in Columbus and I’ve worked in Washington D.C. and I don’t know why it’s so hard to be a good person. I’ve seen a lot first hand and I’ve had a lot of experiences national and globally. I know how to work together and get things done. I’ve always been a doer. We’re going to try new and different things to solve the problems of Southern Ohio.[4] | ” |
| “ | Not being afraid to speak up for my community even if no one else will. I’m a fighter and I never quit, and I’ll fight for Southern Ohio.[4] | ” |
| “ | Created opportunity and brought hope to my district[4] | ” |
| “ | I was young but I remember Bill Clinton’s inauguration and my father yelling at the TV.[4] | ” |
| “ | My first job was at Chick-Fil-a. One of the greatest establishments of all time. This was when they were still inside shopping malls[4] | ” |
| “ | My most awkward first date was I had my best friend show up on it. We were like the real life Flight of the Conchord guys. Never apart.[4] | ” |
| “ | Christmas of course. No explanation needed[4] | ” |
| “ | All the books. But if I had to pick one that changed my life forever it would be Ron Paul’s book, End The Fed.[4] | ” |
| “ | Superman. I have traveling so being able to fly somewhere at any time would have it’s perks.[4] | ” |
| “ | My shower is my safe space. There is something about water that is calming[4] | ” |
| “ | I was asked this at a political debate and I couldn’t remember the name of the song so I awkwardly started humming it on stage. It was Work by Rihanna. I never said I enjoyed the song, but that it got stuck in my head. Meanwhile my opponent gave a cheesy answer like “don’t stop believing.” That was not the last song stuck in your head![4] | ” |
| “ | My weight has always been a problem. I was bullied for in school because of my weight. I’ve been on a diet for pretty much my entire life. If I go off I can gain weight extremely fast. Meanwhile some folks can eat anything. It’s always a constant struggle.[4] | ” |
| “ | Balance of power[4] | ” |
| “ | Luckily I don’t live in Nebraska, OH-IO![4] | ” |
| “ | No, I like to see business people in government and politics. The government needs to operate like a business, that would fix a lot of our problems. Politicians are often too ideological instead of practical. A lot of politicians can't get things done.[4] | ” |
| “ | Criminal Justice Reform and fighting drugs but adopting new and innovative programs that work.[4] | ” |
| “ | Legislators should be working together and building trust. Always working across party lines to promote the best interests of the people.[4] | ” |
| “ | I had the honor of meeting a couple that had been married for 61 years. I asked "what's the trick?" The husband said "It's easy, I lean on her and she leans on me. But we both lean on God"[4] | ” |

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
