Ballotpedia survey responses

Tanneshia Dukes completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Dukes' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- There are roughly 1,442,736 students who deserve access to an equitable educational system. I believe that in order to advance our K-12 education in North Carolina we must provide all students and families with access to high-quality early childhood centers with equitable teacher pay within those facilities and access to funding that ensures all students regardless of their zip code can find safety in public schools.
- District 59 consists of non-entitlement units (NEUs) that received American Rescue Plan (ARPA) funds to withstand the turbulence over the course of the pandemic. The greatest concern from community leaders is centered around sustainable investments and public safety as this all ties into the progression of our economic developments (infrastructure, water and sewage, and community health). The success that has been made within these areas deserves the fight of continuation in the future which means the appropriate funding is necessary for us to grow together.
- Becoming a mother can be rewarding and challenging. One of the main challenges we face is having to choose between working and taking care of a newborn. I believe that mothers should have access to affordable care, and statewide education to help cultivate a solution to the rising mortality rate of women of color during childbirth. Additionally, we cannot address Maternal Rights without mentioning Women's Rights and our ability to have body autonomy.
