Ballotpedia survey responses

Madeline Eden completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Eden's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Improved Healthcare for Texans - A healthy community benefits us all. Unfortunately, between 15 and 20% of all citizens do not have health insurance in towns across District 17. This number has increased in the past four years. Those of us who do have insurance often see increasing premiums charged by for-profit, publicly traded insurance companies. These are unacceptable realities in the unprecedented times we live in, exacerbated further by a global pandemic. Now is the time to embrace science-based preventative medicine, including an expansion of mental health benefits, substance abuse treatment, and trauma prevention care.
- Educational Opportunity for Texas Children - Even though Texas is one of America’s richest states, it scores 36th in spending per student. We have high turnover rates for teachers, and one of the lowest graduation rates in the country. Texans built this economy. We deserve to offer great schools and amazing opportunities for all of our kids.
- Environmental Policies that Protect Our Communities - Energy companies are important, but they shouldn’t be able to use their lawyers and lobbyists to bully everyday Texans. Nobody wants a pipeline running through their backyard, or a toxic waste dump near their kids’ schools. We don’t want to lose our homes due to the devastating floods caused by climate change. No Texan should get a disease because of a company’s careless policies. We shouldn’t watch as our property values and communities are crushed because we didn’t have the big lawyers to fight them.
