Ron Monnig completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Monnig's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Education is highest priority! We need to Fully Fund Education. Increase salaries & retain local control. To retain good teachers we must provide the salaries, benefits & support to prepare our children to compete in the 21st Century. Local control & oversight is essential and our Tax dollars are Public Money & Should Remain in Public Schools
- Reproductive Rights Government should not be in Dr. Offices or exam rooms. It should never dictate how to diagnose or treat a patient. This private, personal decision should be left to a woman & her doctor. I support the constitutional ballot issue that will restore a women’s choice as laid out in Roe v Wade.
- Get Some Work Done Least productive session in memory. Embarrassing. Intra-party squabbling. Deadlock. Need Dialog, debate, decision; politics is the art of compromise. Decorum/Respect must return. Job is STATE position, not federal (Nat. Guard on border) not local ( mandates to cities, schools, libraries) Failed to pass of child care tax credits. Failed to ban child marriage. Failed to end taking millions of dollars in SS benefits owed to foster kids. 2024 MO Senate went without a single conference committee, didn’t pass a single piece of legislation in its final week, refused to accept messages from the House, a breach of decorum. We deserve a working Senate!
Expanding educational opportunities we can provide answers to our biggest problems.
The aging of our society is also a major challenge facing us. We must work to improve health care options & provide the tools necessary to care for neighbors. Rural communities face increasing challenges. We need to develop plans to see the care everyone needs is available.
