Ballotpedia survey responses

Simon Cardell completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2023. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Cardell's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|- Economic Conditions - The problems with our economy today are caused by a corrupted and irresponsible government. Global corporations and financial institutions are preying on us. Our country is producing less, but making more money. These global entities taking in almost all of the wealth by financial manipulations and exploiting under developed countries resources. Also, the profit made from this is not getting taxed. I will tax this revenue appropriately and invest in our resources and labor so we can all reach American excellence.
- Cleaning out Corruption and getting Big Money out of Politics - We need to restore a government for the people and by the people. We are completely disconnected from our representatives. Today’s politicians work for themselves and their big money donors. We need campaign finance reform, congressional stock trading laws and term limits. Our government needs to have the will of the people and make decisions for what is good for the public and not corporations.
- Unity- Today our political environment is toxic. We have never been so polarized. This is because of politicians who choose to use anger and fear to divide us. I believe the human connection is too strong and that the majority of people can come together on moral grounds. I will not be negative or try to use fear in my campaign. I will appeal to our good and positive side.
