Joceline Berrios participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on March 31, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Joceline Berrios's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Impeach Putin's puppets and any government officials that are more interested in getting rich off of our taxpayer dollars than serving us and defending our Constitution. 2) Serve We The People, instead of corporations, the super rich, and the NRA. Medicare for all. Single payer health care. Pro-choice. Lessen income inequality by increasing wages and strengthening unions. Free college education. Legalize marijuana. |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | The President and Vice President should be immediately impeached if they are illegally working to undermine our elections and democracy. We must keep our promises to protect Dreamers, Salvadorans, Haitians, and help Puerto Ricans and African Americans. Healthcare, criminal justice, income inequality, immigrants, unions, higher wages. As a public school teacher for 20 years, I have seen how public policy can vastly change a family's future and the ability to get ahead.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

| “ | Truth, honesty, putting the American people and the Constitution first.[3] | ” |
| “ | We can all make the world better for others in many small ways every day. I would like to help strengthen our unity as a nation and our democracy.[3] | ” |
