Ballotpedia survey responses

Nicole Loew completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Loew's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Your zip code will impact your health more than your genetic code and rural areas are worse off. This is because of policy. So simply because of where we live and who represents us, our lives are made harder and unhealthier. This is unacceptable. Rural people deserve better.
- Public schools are the backbone of rural communities. We need to properly fund and support our schools and teachers.
- We need to put people over politics. Corporate and out-of-state special interest groups should not be prioritized over the needs and voices of Iowans.
Good listener: There is a difference between hearing what people have to say and listening. Hearing is passive, listening is active. I don't want to just hear what people think, I want to listen to what people think, engage with them, and create policy/make decisions that is guided by Iowans.
Analyst: As a researcher my brain is constantly synthesizing information, analyzing data, drawing connections, and asking big questions. Policy should be data driven, solve real problems Iowans are facing, and not create more problems.
Integrity: Leadership is doing what is right even if it is the hard or unpopular thing to do. I would rather do what is right and have a short political career, than do what I am told and have a longer political career.
2. To be transparent about the decisions they make.
