Tom Walton completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Walton's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| 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.
