Ballotpedia survey responses

Nick Hess completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2021. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Hess' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Public Safety is a priority. Oregon needs zero tolerance on violent crime. Nick Hess supports law enforcement efforts to curb rising crime rates in our communities.
- Trust in government starts with transparency. State budget information should be clear and available for Oregonians to review. At all times you should be able to see exactly where and how your tax dollars are being spent.
- Majority of Oregonians are not adequately being represented. State government needs to listen to its citizens. With both parties moving so far apart, the vast number of Oregonians are left behind by divisive rhetoric.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
