Ballotpedia survey responses

Stu Barnes-Israel completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Barnes-Israel's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I will put our families first, ensure every hard-earned tax dollar is spent responsibly, and fight against the big spending policies that drive up inflation and make it harder to pay our bills.
- I will fight to secure the southern border and prevent the flow of illegal drugs into our communities.
- I will fight for our Second Amendment rights and individual liberties.
It is critical that we pass a balanced budget and introduce meaningful, long-term economic reforms—not short term spending plans. Our economy is in crisis; it’s not working for everyone, and it’s certainly not working for rural America. We're facing an inflation crisis and a supply chain crisis worsened by bad policy from Washington and this administration who wants to keep spending irresponsibly and driving up the deficit to kick the can down the road to our grandchildren.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
