Stacey Swann completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Swann's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I believe that reproductive decisions should be made by women and their doctors, not the state.
- n the rural communities across District 68, public schools are the heart of their towns. Not only do they serve as the best, and often only, education choice for parents and their children, they are typically the biggest employers, too. The majority of rural Republicans joined with Democrats to reject vouchers last session because they know that, long term, their huge price tag would mean less funding for our public schools. I believe our tax dollars should never go to private schools, and I would work to increase both teacher pay and public school funding.
- For too many Texans, home ownership is an unattainable dream. Housing costs have skyrocketed causing our property taxes to do the same. Rising rental prices, food costs, and utilities add an even greater strain. I believe the legislature should be doing more to address housing affordability including further property tax reform, facilitating increased building to keep pace with our increasing population, and allotting more state spending for housing and community development.
