Preston Romero completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2023. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Romero's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I am running on a platform to address public safety, homelessness and affordability. These are the issues that impact Californians regardless of their age, race, sex or other qualifier. These are issues that practical and pragmatic solutions instead of partisan pandering.
- We have had over two decades of one-party rule in Sacramento and what has that gotten us? Higher taxes, more than a quarter of the nation's homeless population, and more of the same failure that has made our great state a national punchline. The current supermajority has used the California tax payer as a personal piggy bank to carry out an agenda that seeks to sow division rather than address the kitchen table issues that affect us all.
- I am part of the next class of leaders who are stepping up in their communities across California to say "enough is enough" and are working to restore sanity, respect and common sense back to public discourse and public policy. I believe that the Sacramento region will be a key economic hub over the next decade and in order to capitalize upon and maximize that potential, we need bold, new leadership that is ready to make the hard choices and tough decisions necessary to facilitate real change and results.
