Pervez Agwan completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2023. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Agwan's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
Money has corrupted our politics. Our representatives are now beholden to corporate lobbies and special interests that have compromised their ability to lead.
That is why I am not taking a penny of corporate PAC or special interest money during this campaign. It is crucial that we return power back to the voters in TX-07. This starts with removing big and dirty money from the equation.
- Healthcare should be a right for every American. We need a system of universal healthcare that allows people to receive the treatment and care they need without going bankrupt in the process. This is why we are the only candidate in the race that supports Universal Medicare for All.
- Corporate and special interest money has no place in politics. It is imperative that we enact swift campaign finance reforms and limit the power of wealthy lobbyists to influence our representatives.
- Strong environmental action is crucial for our future. As a developer of some of the nation's largest wind and solar projects, I have seen firsthand how rapid renewable energy development is not only possible on a national scale but makes practical sense and creates jobs.
