Ballotpedia survey responses
Bender stated the following about his political philosophy in a biographical submission to Ballotpedia:[1]
| “ | I'm hoping to draw together a coalition of voters from the left, right, and in between who are more concerned with the progress of this great country than the dogma of any political party. I'm running for office because Republicans and Democrats have done a poor job of representing the people of northeast Indiana, and many of the problems we face today (job losses, healthcare costs, poor infrastructure, etc.) are the exact same problems we have been talking about now for over two decades.
