Max Socol completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Socol's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I have already been a successful advocate for stopping evictions and making housing more affordable in Montgomery County. I am fighting for policies like social housing and rent stabilization at the state level to protect all of us from a predatory housing market.
- The most progressive state delegates and senators in Maryland have often come from Montgomery County, and they have led our state and country on essential issues like marriage equality. However, my opponent has broken with that tradition, voting with Republicans against crucial police reforms. I am running to restore our district's role as a progressive leader.
- The climate crisis is already impacting our district, yet we continue to see unnecessary compromises in our climate and transit legislation driven by the power of utilities and other fossil fuel interests that are resistant to needed changes. We don't have any time to waste and when Democrats like my opponent take fossil fuel money, we need to vote them out. I will be a champion for climate and green transit and I will never take money from fossil fuel sources.
