Sarah Adlakha completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Adlakha's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Sarah brings a unique perspective to healthcare challenges in Mississippi, drawing from her experiences as a physician, a mother of a special needs daughter, and a mother of a teenage daughter treated for thyroid cancer. Her firsthand encounters with the complexities of the healthcare system have shaped her understanding of the obstacles many families face. She understands that improving healthcare access and affordability is not just a policy issue; it is a matter of life and death for families like hers. With her medical expertise and personal experiences, Sarah Adlakha is committed to championing changes that will create a more compassionate and effective healthcare system for all Mississippians.
- In order to boost Mississippi's economy, Sarah believes the state must lean on strong business models, innovative educational programs, and a robust tourism industry. Her experience in real estate development and finance equips her with the knowledge to craft policies that encourage private sector growth while minimizing government interference. By focusing on pro-business policies, reducing taxes, and eliminating unnecessary regulations, Mississippi can foster an environment where local businesses thrive. Coupled with a workforce educated in key sectors such as healthcare, technology, and energy, the state will be well-positioned to grow and compete on the national level.
- Sarah recognizes the importance of a robust defense infrastructure, not only for safeguarding our nation but also for fostering economic growth and job creation within Mississippi. The state is home to several key military installations, including Keesler Air Force Base and the Naval Construction Battalion Center in Gulfport. Additionally, Mississippi’s Ingalls Shipbuilding, located in Pascagoula, plays a crucial role in the construction of naval vessels, making it a vital asset to both our state's economy and our national defense strategy. Strengthening our national defense ensures these facilities remain vital contributors to our local economies, providing stable employment and supporting businesses throughout the region.
