Patricia Beekman completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Beekman's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Mandates to take injections or wear masks have no place in a free society. As your state senator, I will work to make such mandates illegal for both adults and children. Every adult of sound mind must have the final say on whether or not something is injected into their bloodstream and whether or not to wear a mask that significantly reduces the quality of the air they breathe.
- The Red Hill Bulk Fuel Facility remains a pressing concern for Oahu, with the possibility of more contamination still a looming threat. It's imperative that we ensure complete transparency between the Navy and the people and government of Hawaii. To safeguard our community, state workers and legislators must have reasonable access to monitoring the decommissioning process. This includes providing up-to-date monitoring reports that are released on a timely basis and in-person trips into the facility, ensuring that Oahu residents and their government are fully informed. By prioritizing transparency and oversight, we can better protect our environment and health, fostering accountability and respect between the Navy and our community.
- Tackling the high cost of housing is one of my top priorities. Hawaii has a housing crisis, with many residents struggling to afford a place to live. The exorbitant cost of living forces families to live in overcrowded conditions, sometimes with incompatible strangers. Children are handicapped in their scholastic achievements because they don’t have a quiet place and a desk to do their homework, studies and reading. Most of our kamaaina are said to be a paycheck away from going homeless. They move to the mainland because they "are priced out of paradise." By addressing these issues head-on, we can create a more equitable and affordable housing market in Hawaii.
