Patti Young completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Young's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I am against school vouchers and believe that our tax dollars need to stay in our national treasures...public schools.
- I am against all legislation that takes away the rights of women to get health care they need.
- I am a gun owner and believe that our 2nd amendment right to own guns is valid. However the state of Tennessee has no sensible regulations to keep people safe from gun violence. That has to change. It is dangerous to live here in Tennessee.
