Candidate Connection

Cheyenne Warnock participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 16, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Cheyenne Warnock's responses follow below.[1]

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

I will improve the local economy through investment in infrastructure, improve access to quality education in rural areas, and work to improve quality of life for members of the district by increasing access to parks and after school programs for children.[2][3]

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

I am passionate about programs that help under-served members of the community. Middle Georgia is a great place to live and raise a family for many people, but there are entire neighborhoods where few people have cars, jobs, or opportunities. Just a little investment in the local economy and infrastructure could go a long way towards bringing well-paying jobs to the area and helping our rural communities become economically self-sufficient.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Cheyenne Warnock answered the following:

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

It is important for an elected official to stay in touch with their constituents and be aware of the wishes of the community, while keeping an eye on the greatest good of the community and the state as a whole. An elected official should not be swayed by every passing opinion, but should be aware that their job is to best represent the interests of every member of their district.[3]
What was your very first job? How long did you have it?
I have been working consistently since I was first got a paper route when I was 13. I would get up at 5 a.m. to deliver newspapers, then attend an early morning religion class before my regular school day began. I kept that paper route for nearly 5 years, until after I graduated from high school. To get through college I worked as an orderly at an assisted living center, and a personal care assistant to individuals with special needs. I also worked as a writing tutor, a job that I have now been doing for 13 years, even while being a full-time mom to 4 kids. I know how to work hard, and pledge to use that work ethic to serve the people of my district.[3]
Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?
I believe that it can be beneficial for state legislators to have previous political experience, but it not necessary. Sometimes our government needs fresh voices to shake things up and pull the state from the status quo.[3]
What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?
Perhaps the greatest challenge the state will face in the coming decade is serving the needs of all citizens in their diverse areas and needs. While there are parts of the state that are flourishing with an abundance of jobs and opportunity, there are other parts of the state that are being left behind in terms of education, opportunity, and economic prosperity. We need to find ways to help the citizens who live in rural communities without neglecting the needs of the burgeoning metro areas.[3]
Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.
It is absolutely essential for state legislators to build relationships with each other, and that tradition of statesmanship is one of the things that I most look forward to about serving in the Georgia House of Representatives. In order to accomplish anything to serve the state, we must learn to set aside our differences and work with individuals. When legislators cast votes out of spite or anger, everyone is harmed. When legislators can look past their differences to the good of the community, everyone can benefit.[3]
