Leo Biasiucci participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on August 10, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Leo Biasiucci's responses follow below.[7]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | Water Border Protection Less Regulations[8][9] |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | I come from a family of educators and I fully support education. My mother taught for 30 years, my uncle was superintendent of LHUSD for 10 years, and I believe that we must pay attention to the way our children are being educated. If we do not have a quality educational system in place, every aspect of our society will suffer. That being said, I did not support the RedForEd protests that forced classes to be canceled. My lack of support has nothing to do with me not supporting teachers or education, but everything to do with how it was handled. I am a fiscal conservative who believes we must spend our money wisely. I am old school and fell that all parties concened with education should have sat at the table, regardless how long it took, and figured out a viable solution. I believe an option for funding would have been acquiring and selling some of the 85% of federal land that we have in Arizona. Instead, we rushed into it and now we have the potential for a financial crises. This is why I want to be able to sit on the education committee once elected to the Arizona House. That way I can be a voice for education and I can make sure financially sound decisions happen in the future. I also want to make sure all of our children are provided with as many school choice options as possible. It is our duty to make sure our children are receiving the best possible education, regardless of the method.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[9]

” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Leo Biasiucci answered the following:
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
| “ | I believe that we must have legislators in office who are going to do everything they can to keep our freedoms in place. I am a Pro-2nd Amendment, Pro-Life, Fiscal and Constitutional Conservative who believes that we must allow the people to dictate the life they want to lead, without too much government interference. I want to make sure that I can preserve our constitutional rights, keep our state fiscally responsible, and provide our citizens with the freedoms that they are entitled. Most importantly, we must have legislators who are willing to listen. Many times when people get into leadership positions, they believe that they have all of the answers. Although you must lead by making the final decision, it is equally important to listen to the wants and needs of your constituents and fellow legislators.[9] | ” |
| “ | In the short time I have been involved in politics, I have had tremendous support. Whether it involves support from current legislator's, local Mayor's, chamber president's, city council members, our local police chief, county supervisors, or the voters, many of them believe that I am the best for this position. I believe that being born and raised in my district has a tremendous advantage. I have a business here, my family is here, and I have great relationships with many people here. All the people of my district want is to trust the legislator that represents them at the Capitol. More importantly, they want a legislator that they feel comfortable interacting with. Many do not believe that they have that kind of relationship now with the current representative, and they are hoping I can be the change that they are looking for.[9] | ” |
| “ | Listen to your constituents Stick to your core beliefs Be a team player with your fellow seatmates Less Government/less restrictions[9] |
” |
| “ | My first job was with Coldstone Creamery. I will always remember how much I did not look forward to singing for tips! But I also remember being allowed to take a free pint of ice cream home each night as well![9] | ” |
| “ | I think water and illegal immigration are going to be our state's two biggest issues moving forward.[9] | ” |
| “ | Open communication[9] | ” |
| “ | Absolutely. You must work as a team in legislation or else nothing will ever get accomplished. This is why sticking to your word is so important to me. So many times I have heard stories about legislators who say they are going to do one thing and then they end up doing another. All you have at the Capitol is your reputation. If you don't do what you say you're going to do, you have lost all credibility amongst your fellow legislators.[9] | ” |
| “ | I am open to be on any committee where the caucus feels I will be best utilized.[9] | ” |
| “ | When I was first deciding if I wanted to run for office, I made it a point to sit with as many local leaders in my community as possible. I did this because I wanted to see what it was that they were looking for in a legislator. The number one answer I received was that they wanted an open channel of communication. They were disappointed that their current local legislator never reached out to them. So here we have hundreds of bills coming across a legislators desk, covering hundreds of topics, and yet our legislator has not reached out to the individuals in the community who will be most impacted by the possible change in law. One in particular was our local Police Chief. He stated that although bills were passed that had a direct impact on law enforcement, one of our own representatives never even called him for his advice. This really bothered me because I know that as a legislator, you can't know everything about every bill that comes across your desk. And if you aren't reaching out to your own constituents for a recommendation, you are not fulfilling your job as a state representative.[9] | ” |

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.
