Ballotpedia survey responses

Scott Romney completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Romney's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- The family unit is inextricably tied to education because our children are our greatest assets. We must adequately fund education in order to best equip our children and their progeny to succeed in an increasingly technical and advanced world economy. Investing in our children is our best investment for the future. Parents need to have a say in their child’s education. I support parental choice and the need for parents to not only choose where and how their tax dollars are spent, but where and how their child is educated.
- I know how hard it is to start a business and make a living. But I also believe in the free market and the American dream. To ease your burden, I will always fight to keep fees and regulations at a minimum and will never be another government bureaucrat calling your business or job non-essential. I will fight to lower your taxes. However, of the taxes you do pay, I will never forget that those dollars are the property of District 23 residents – that you worked and sacrificed to contribute to a government meant to serve you – and that I have a duty to be a wise steward of those entrusted tax dollars.
- I look forward to voicing the concerns and issues, of District 23, not the issues of District 22 or 24, nor the issues of a particular class of people, a business, or the state. I want to represent the issues for the people of District 23.
