Ballotpedia survey responses
Barnhart stated the following about her political philosophy in a biographical submission to Ballotpedia:[1]
| “ | I’m running for Congress to fight for the Rochester region. The direction Washington is going right now makes it more important than ever that we have a practical, progressive advocate for our community in Congress. We need someone who engages citizens and solves problems. We need a representative who knows the 25th District, knows what's going on here, and makes sure our voices are heard and our needs addressed.
I’m a passionate advocate for protecting women and LGBTQ individuals. I’m a huge supporter of Medicare for All, public education, municipal broadband and green energy. We must support investments in innovation and technology. For the last two decades as a journalist, I’ve been a warrior for truth, fighting or ethical and responsive government, and exposing corruption. I’ve given a voice to the voiceless and engaged people across the political spectrum. I’ve explained the connections between campaign donations and policy decisions. My journalistic integrity is a mere preview of what I will bring to Washington. [2] |
