Tay Waltenbaugh completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Waltenbaugh's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I will work to create, sustain and protect good, safe jobs where workers earn a wage that reflects their value and the cost of living.
- Public schools are the bedrock of our communities and every child deserves a safe, equitable K-12 education but our schools are strugling under the weight of a broken funding formula that requires districts and taxpayers to pay millions of dollars to failing, for-profit charter schools. No one should be making a profit from a public fund. I will fight to change this formula, bring balance and give the taxpayers a fair return for their investment.
- As long as politicians accept money from pharamceutical companies, big oil and other special interests, we will never see a cap on perscrition drugs like insulin or practices that keep our communities safe.
