Joe Mayes completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Mayes' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Fully fund Texas public schools. Vouchers approved by the 89th Texas legislature is a move in the wrong direction. The future of Texas is dependent on providing a world-class education for all Texas students, not just those whose families can afford to take advantage of the publicly-funded private school vouchers. Texas public dollars must fund Texas public schools.
- Make living in Texas affordable for Texans. This includes housing, food, transportation, and health care.
- Defend access to books and freedom of expression for all Texans.
