Candidate Connection

Ronald DeBlauw participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 8, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Ronald DeBlauw's responses follow below.[2]

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

“ Idaho is a A+ place to live, exceptional people. It far succeeds the national averages in quality of life, but the wages for the people of Idaho are so far below the national averages, per Bureau of Labor Statistics, and our Educations system is also far below the national averages. Wages need to come up to national standards the same as our education system. Bringing in high tech jobs, higher paying jobs. Keeping our taxes low. I’ll introduce Legislation to start a pilot program with the prison system, Criminal restitution, training, and work program. Criminals need not only to pay restitution to the victims, but for their incarceration cost, not the taxpayers. convicts will receive a reduced sentence once they complete the program, this will reduce overcrowding and we won’t need to spend additional taxpayers’ dollars to build more prisons. www.Deblauwforidaho.com[3][4] ”

“ Taking my education and life experience and make the quality of life better for the people of Idaho.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[4] ”
