Ray Jeter completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Jeter's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- "Maury First!" is not just a slogan for me—it's a commitment. I pledge unwavering dedication to the people of Maury County, advocating tirelessly on their behalf in every circumstance. No challenge will go unmet, no effort spared as I strive to enhance the well-being of every resident of Maury County, leaving no stone unturned in pursuit of progress and prosperity for all.
- "Putting Maury's Children First!" is more than a slogan—it's a guiding principle. I'm dedicated to collaborating with all school systems in my district, both public and private, to prioritize the needs of our children. Parents should always retain the freedom to choose the educational path that best suits their children, whether it be public, private, or homeschooling. In this regard, the government's role should be minimal, respecting parental choice and staying uninvolved in decisions regarding education.
- Representative government should truly represent the essence of its name. We don't elect individuals to reign over us; we elect them to serve and advocate for our interests at every level of governance. Our nation was founded on the principle of replacing tyrants with public servants who genuinely reflect the needs of their constituents. Unfortunately, too often, elected officials veer from this path, choosing to rule rather than serve. My commitment is clear: I aspire to serve you, not to wield power over you.
2. Immigration: I am committed to aiding border states in border security efforts, especially when the federal government falls short in fulfilling its responsibility to secure our borders.
3. Education and Child Support: I prioritize initiatives aimed at enhancing education and providing robust support for children within our communities.
4. Crime and Drugs: Collaborating with local law enforcement agencies and community organizations, I aim to ensure accountability for criminals while also advocating for rehabilitation options to address the root causes of crime and drug abuse.
2. Reducing the impacts of inflation.
