Marna Sanford completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Sanford's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- We need a long-term, sustainable fiscal plan for Alaska.
- Our vital services must be protected and nurtured.
- Politics does not have to divide us. We are all Alaskan.
This begins by ending the stalemate surrounding the PFD and the budget. We need to follow the law or have the courage to change the formula to fit the needs of all Alaskans. Continuing to use the PFD as a scapegoat to balance our budget is the most regressive tax that can be imposed on Alaskans. We must look into expanding our revenue options wherever we can. Nothing should be off the table.
