Matthew McGhee completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2023. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by McGhee's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Fix the housing shortage and get prices down.
- Fix Texas healthcare, make it predictably priced, affordable, and available to all.
- Actually fund public services (like the DMV) so they're not frustrating and you can actually get an appointment this week.
Public land access. Texas doesn't have much recreational land that's accessible to where people live. That needs investment into more public land, and incentives for private land owners to create recreational opportunities.

If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org.
