Richard Goble completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Goble's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- End the Unnecessary Endless Wars, and Maintain the Best Military and Lower Taxes for All Working People.
- Improve Our Roads and Transportation Systems, Improve Economic Opportunity and Access to the Capital Markets for All
- Protect Free Speech, Right to Protect Ourselves, Protect the Health of the Unborn and Women Health.
Our roads in Central Florida need improving and need more federal dollars to help with these improvements. A train system should not be stopping auto traffic and should be forcing our county governments to fund these failing transportation programs.
The first Amendment and Second Amendment to our Constitution need to be protected. Without our Second Amendment rights, we greatly risk losing our First Amendment Rights.
Lowering taxes for all working people is always important and should be the thoroughly address in every federal budget bill.
Supporting our great President, Donald J. Trump, is very important while he is keeping his promises and draining the swamp and making our Country Great Again!
Another challenge is eliminating racism, hate, corruption, corporate non-utility monopolies.
Providing and improving healthcare for all those in need is a never ending challenge that i'm willing to continue to fight for as well.
