Todd Smalenberg completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Smalenberg'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 bedrock of our foundation as a people and nation, the public education system is failing our children. Parents and children deserve more opportunities to excel, I believe school choice with vouchers per child will allow better choices for all families regardless of income status.
- Election integrity, voting is one of the singular most important things we as law abiding citizens do. It is fundamental that only legal votes count and clean voter rolls that allow transparent audits should be the normal. Voter identification cards for all law abiding citizens should be required since we are required to hand identification for almost every daily function we do, if anyone is against voter identification than they are for voter fraud.
- Smaller and limited government, we should be adhering to both the state and federal constitution, I will work everyday to ensure that we are. Nothing else should be accepted by either party.,
