Mark Chapman completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Chapman's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Adherence to the Constitution I believe in the constitution and in our republic. Our country is not perfect but our government is the best kind created by man. I will always govern and vote with our constitution being the primary frame of reference.
- Transparency and Accountablity I want government that is transparent and accountable. Too much of government is either wasteful or unnecessary, or never held to account. Public officials have a civic and ethical duty, and a fiduciary duty to keep their constituents informed and to use public funds wisely.
- Stop Playing Politics I want to see Good, Effective, Efficient Government, not just politics or political games. People elected to public office should remember they are working FOR the people and should be public SERVANTS NOT POLITICIANS. Integrity, Statesmanship, Service should be the standard, not just scoring political points or thinking about the next election.

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.
