Ballotpedia survey responses

Louis Harmati did not complete Ballotpedia's 2019 Candidate Connection survey.

Harmati states the following issue positions:[5] Economic Growth: "Creating jobs for North Carolinians and protecting the middle class from losing their economic freedom is my number one concern. A citizen without a job destroys the family unit, and the state’s ability to raise revenue. Prolonged unemployment idle the state’s economy, and increases spending on social programs. The burden of lost wages and tax revenues creates deficits for the government, and inflation for the taxpayer."

Education: "I support an educational system that provides for competition between schools for students, and school choice for parents. The state should not interfere with one of the most basic rights a parent has, and it’s to educate their children in the way of their “Social, or Religious preference.” Some parents will send their children to private or charter schools while others may choose to home school their children, and many may decide that a public education is best for their children."

Energy: "We must develop new energy sources to create jobs, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and to keep prices of goods and services low. North Carolina has natural gas that can be developed, and used in our cars, factories, and homes. Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas have to be in the mix with other alternative energy sources to help keep energy prices down, the cost of goods and services cheap, and to promote full employment in our state."
