Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

---

It is my number one desire to help people maintain the freedoms they currently enjoy. I also want to work to create more freedoms for people and prioritize their well being. These freedoms are universal. A right given to benefit a minority, is still a right that can be enjoyed by the majority.

---

I feel that certain communities in our society are being treated as second class or that they shouldn’t exist at all. The LGBTQ+ community, military veterans, immigrants, racial and ethnic minorities and working Americans have all been used by the left and the right to forward an agenda that only seems to help those who have wealth or influence.

---

We need to do things that will provide a better world for our children. Reducing our need for energy by using more efficient processes and goods in our daily lives. Reducing our consumption and waste by using improved technologies and advocating for right to repair.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Anthony Tomkins (D)

It is my number one desire to help people maintain the freedoms they currently enjoy. I also want to work to create more freedoms for people and prioritize their well being. These freedoms are universal. A right given to benefit a minority, is still a right that can be enjoyed by the majority.

I feel that certain communities in our society are being treated as second class or that they shouldn’t exist at all. The LGBTQ+ community, military veterans, immigrants, racial and ethnic minorities and working Americans have all been used by the left and the right to forward an agenda that only seems to help those who have wealth or influence.

We need to do things that will provide a better world for our children. Reducing our need for energy by using more efficient processes and goods in our daily lives. Reducing our consumption and waste by using improved technologies and advocating for right to repair.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Anthony Tomkins (D)

I am passionate about maintaining the rights of people to let them exist in their lives and not be controlled by an authoritarian government to tell them who they are or how they should peacefully act.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Anthony Tomkins (D)

I read a book like Number One by John Dos Passos and I realize that the evils of politics are lurking everywhere and that it takes a strong will to prevent becoming succumbed to them. I would want to be a representative that listens and advocates for the people and not someone who takes advantage of their position to give themselves wealth.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Anthony Tomkins (D)

Honesty, Transparency, Empathy, Loyalty

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Anthony Tomkins (D)

Blue Collar Worker, former leader in the military

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Anthony Tomkins (D)

Oklahoma City Bombing, 7 years old

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Anthony Tomkins (D)

I worked as a janitor during my junior year of high school.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Anthony Tomkins (D)

I really like I, Robot by Isaac Asimov. I like how it details our relationship with machines and the importance of laws governing their use.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Anthony Tomkins (D)

Soft Fuzzy Man by Lemon Demon

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Anthony Tomkins (D)

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.
