2020
Kiran Sreepada completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Sreepada's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I want to expand access to affordable healthcare by insuring more people and increasing access to clinics and hospitals.
- I want to invest in our infrastructure, including broadband, to increase opportunities for small businesses, telework, telehealth, and remote education.
- I want to fully fund our public education system. No child should be penalized with lower quality education based on where they live, and fully funding public schools would create opportunities for millions of children across the country.
