Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Justin Fleming (D)

I have been working with members of the State House to pass policy for the last 11 years.

I have been successful in getting legislation passed and signed into law.

I have dedicated my career to public and non-profit service. That along with my many years as a volunteer prove that I care about my community and have a desire to serve.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Justin Fleming (D)

Healthcare - we need a government that is going to provide affordable healthcare for everyone. We also need to make prescription drugs more affordable, particularly for those who need life-saving medication like my daughter who has a Type-1 Diabetes diagnosis.

Education- we need to provide a fully- and fairly-funded education system for every child so their educational outcomes are not determined by their zip code.

Voting Rights - we need to ensure that we don’t move backward in terms of ballot access. We need to expand voting rights, particularly automatic voter registration, keep mail-in voting and offer more drop box locations, and allow counties to pre-canvass mail-in voting results.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Justin Fleming (D)

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. I have a very idealized view of the importance of public service. Elected officials owe it to their constituents to be honest and treat the office as a public trust.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Justin Fleming (D)

I find public service to be among the highest callings with which one can engage. I have dedicated my personal and professional lives to serving others and being elected to this role would be the ultimate honor.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Justin Fleming (D)

I am an honest, ethical person who will tell the truth, even if it’s not desirable. I have the skill set to do the job of State Representative and while there will be a learning curve, it won’t be as steep as some other members as I am comfortable working with the General Assembly.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Justin Fleming (D)

The core responsibility begins with constituent service. When someone comes into your office seeking help, it is your responsibility to help that person to the best of your ability, regardless of party or any other factor. Secondly, it is incumbent upon a State Representative to consider two main elements when considering every vote: 1. Is this good for the constituents I serve and 2. Can I justify or explain why I’m voting this way on a specific piece of legislation?

What legacy would you like to leave?

Justin Fleming (D)

I would like to be known as an honest legislator who did his best to serve all constituents and make positive change in their lives both from an individual and systems perspective.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Justin Fleming (D)

My family struggled financially when I was younger and I relied on government services like Section 8 housing, free and reduced lunch, and food stamps in order to rise to the middle class. I also paid my way through Millersville University and was thrilled to graduate on time with a B.S. in Communications.
