Candidate Connection

Susan Byrne Haddix participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on September 20, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Susan Byrne Haddix's responses follow below.[1]

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

My top three priorities are:

1) My first priority is to represent the majority people of my district. We value great education, clean environment, steady employment, support of small businesses, and sustainable living. The people of my district value honesty and authenticity. I am a product of my district and can represent the people well.
2) We need to end the bullying and theft from Kentucky's pension systems. KY must have the tools to recruit the best qualified teachers and staff and continued defined benefits for future employees is an important. It is important to note that public employee wages and benefits are the backbone of all communities.
3) By making sure KY public education, from early education to graduating college, are accessible to all in safe well-equipped maintained buildings with highly trained teachers. Charter schools and privatization of services, for someone else's profit, paid for with our taxes, has no place in KY.[2][3]

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

I am personally passionate about policies related to our children and our environment. In other words, I care about the future. I taught high school math and physics for 30 years in Madison County where I have been fortunate to help many kids and their families. I can use this passion and the problem solving and logic I have taught to make the world a better place for all.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Susan Byrne Haddix answered the following:

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

It is definitely beneficial to build relationships with other legislatures. The lack of this is hurting America. I would like to think that those who hold office, do so to represent the best interests of the people in their district. Unfortunately the reverse has become the norm. As a retired teacher I have been a professional collaborator. I can help lead this return to basic decency within our state government.[3]
