Michael Nelson completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Nelson's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Improve school choice for all citizens of North Carolina
- Dismantle and privatize the outdated North Carolina beverage control (ABC) system
- Improve housing affordability for the people of my district
That being said the only difference is that there are 120 members of the House of Representatives and 50 in the Senate. As a candidate of the North Carolina House of Representatives that means while I will represent less people it gives me the opportunity to be closer to them and hear their needs and wishes.

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