Tom Walton completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Walton's responses.
| Collapse all
- I am qualified. I've represented the interests of others my entire legal career. This has included both individuals and businesses. I know what it takes to serve a client. I know when and how to fight. I know when and how to compromise.
- Quality of life is key. We must focus on the issues that really impact the common good, such as quality of life, to retain and attract a skilled workforce, help Iowa grow and provide a sense of belonging to all Iowans.
- I offer common sense for an uncommon time. We need more reality-based problem solving, less reality TV. More reason, less rabble rousing. More substance, less surface.
