Kathy Wyenandt participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on April 6, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Kathy Wyenandt's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Working to ensure that public education is funded fairly and equitably. 2) Working to grow the economy through investing in infrastructure, public transit, workforce training programs, and small business development. |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Public education is where my passion lies. The greatest opportunity to ""level the playing field"" for all is to provide a quality education. I believe the way we fund schools in Ohio is unsustainable over the long haul, and we need to decrease the reliance on property taxes. Properly funding public schools is critical. If we want to grow and develop the next generation of innovators, we need to invest in public education.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Kathy Wyenandt answered the following:
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
| “ | Listening and relationship-building.[3] | ” |
| “ | Not only am I an effective listener and good at building relationships, I'm also a firm believer in compromise. Progress takes time, but policy that is built on principals and values, best-practice data, and compromise will move us in a positive direction as compared to polarization, which leads to no progress at all. I will work with anyone from any political background to move Ohio forward. I will always choose people over politics.[3] | ” |
