2022
John E. Bartlett completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Bartlett's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Restoration of rural and small town economic prosperity through expansion of reliable broadband. Population has dwindled and the "work from home" initiatives corporations are going through provide an opportunity to grow rural populations if we have the correct technology in rural areas for people to work from home.
- Provide funding to our education system so that we stop teaching for the test and start teaching the problem solving skills to make our children competitive in the future. Bring back the teaching of trades to high schools.
- Protect the family farms. Corporations have greatly monopolized the farm markets decreasing the number of companies competing for farmers' products. This reduces the price they sell their products, forcing many into huge debts and bankruptcy. We need to demand the federal government enforce the anti-trust laws and shore up small family farms so they can survive.
Education is a very big passion of mine. I feel that we need to redirect priorities to teaching for life long success rather than how to pass a test. We need to reintroduce trade classes. We need to be teaching mastery of critical thinking for problem solving for all students, as this is the most critical skill required for professional success in any field. We need to ensure that teachers are paid well and restrictive requirements which do not apply to the direct education of children are kept to a minimum.
Other part time jobs I've had are in warehouse work, grounds keeping, food service, CNA in a nursing home, convenience store worker, Congressional intern (for US Rep Phil Sharp), and adjunct instructor at a business college. Each of these were summer jobs or jobs I had for less than a year.
I listen to a wide variety of music. In one day I can go from the Beatles, to Sinatra, to Muddy Waters, to Mozart, to Prince, to the Statler Brothers, and back to the Who.
