Ryan Scofield completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Scofield's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Medicaid Expansion- too many hardworking Tennesseans go without medical care. Many fall in the dead zone between qualifying and being able to afford a basic healthcare plan. Looking at this from a fiscal standpoint, we are sending an ungodly amount of money that is not being used for Medicaid. It is wasteful not to accept the federal funds.
- Respecting a woman’s right to choose- The government should not be governing people’s bodies. I am for removing the government from medical decisions between a doctor and patient. Inserting the government into a medical decision is a slippery slope that should be avoided.
- Stronger neighborhood schools- Our schools are painfully underfunded. I would work to roll back Governor Lee’s disastrous voucher scheme and allocate that funding back into our community schools. Our government should not be funding private academic institutions.
