Katybeth Davis completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Davis' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Racial Justice- The injustice of systemic racism needs to be addressed through, comprehensive criminal justice reform, and investment in BIPOC communities. Systemic racism is especially rampant in this district and it is my hope to break away from the norms and focus on a more inclusive district.
- Climate Crisis & Environmental Issues- Ensure the Great Lakes and critical sources of drinking water are protected from contamination by toxic chemicals such as PFAS. I will hold corporate polluters accountable, strengthen our drinking water infrastructure and demand protections that keep our communities, and our kids, safe. I agree that climate change is human-made, threatening our planet, and needs to be addressed through government action.
- Access to Healthcare- I will fight to protect healthcare by standing up for people’s access to critical health services such as birth control, mental health services, and cancer screenings. I would advocate to pass the SB 70 bill which wuld repeal the 1931 Michigan law banning abortions. Reproductive Rights are human rights and women and people who become pregnant should have the choice to make their own decisions during their pregnancies. I support full gender equality including women's health access, reproductive rights, and equal pay regardless of gender assigned at birth.
