Stephanie Wheeler completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Wheeler's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Education is the cornerstone of our society and ensuring that our children are receiving the fundamentals of an educated society – civics, reading, writing and arithmetic – is critical. Colorado’s rate of illiteracy is crippling, currently dooming 60% of Colorado children to a life of poverty, poor health, and lower life expectancy. Our diverse population in House District 2 deserves a Representative who is dedicated to ensuring that tax dollars are budgeted to focus on educating our children. As your Representative, reinforcing parents’ rights to transparency and participation in the classroom will be my top priority.
- Affordability of goods, including housing, is skyrocketing. Government is not the long-term solution to these deficiencies; self-reliance and equality of opportunity are. Let’s get rid of governmental red tape and interference and allow the free market to operate. The proper role of government is to provide short-term assistance to those in need and we should be seeking private sector solutions to these problems, rather than legislating more and more governmental assistance agencies.
- Legislation that incentivizes and facilitates drug abuse, eliminates accountability for criminal acts, and reduces funding for police will inevitably promote crime in our neighborhoods. We should support our first responders and make sure that they get the support they need to keep us safe. Most of our police officers are honest and willing to put their life on the line to protect our neighborhoods and families. We must allow them to enforce the laws already on the books, equip them with protective devices to keep them safe, and stop the opioid and fentanyl crisis by beefing up prosecution and sentencing. Let’s restore our beautiful Denver to a thriving city and make our neighborhoods safe again to work, play and raise our children.
