2024
Rustin Provance completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Provance's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Unity/ True Term Limits-No more wishing and blind faith. Let us get back to us Americans, end this two party system controlling our government from the outside in. Let us give the government back to Americans. I will only serve one term. 331 + million Americans in this country, everyone deserves a shot at their ideas.
- People-We are our government, no matter your side. We are Americans and represent a powerful nation. Let us invest in our own people. It is way over due and needs more of our attention.
- Exposing- I am offering to go into Washington D.C. and open the books. Look into The Federal Reserve, a privately owned, for profit, that reports to the IMF. Ending The Federal Reserve, getting the people back their money and power, that is the message Washington will hear.
FAITH- We need to start having more faith in people.
