Ballotpedia survey responses

Kyle Thompson completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Thompson's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- The Capital City of Frankfort deserves to have investment from the Commonwealth to provide for the brightest future possible for our community, and not simply to remain focused on our history; which, while fascinating should not be what our community is known for, but maintained as our city is the bridge between the beginning of this great Commonwealth to the unbridled possibilities of our collective futures.
- We can no longer ignore the facts that our community is failing current and future generations of young people as we struggle with one of the highest actual drug overdose rates per capita in the United States, an unengaged and ill prepared workforce, and a lack of development and growth over the last forty-five years. The City of Frankfort must demand the highest levels of resources to combat addiction and cycles of crime and poverty; the greatest efforts of our educational systems and providers to mold our youth into prepared graduates of post-secondary education ready for college and/or the best job skills training programs in the Bluegrass; and the increasing focus on economic and community development.
- Fiscal responsibility and investments into the futures of our youth is the only means by which our Commonwealth can be prepared for the future that will certainly require our citizens and communities to compete for every job; every state and federal dollar for education and job training; and every opportunity to protect the most fundamental rights afforded to each of us: the rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
