Ballotpedia survey responses

Richard Kent completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Kent's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Our country is in trouble. Political parties have forsaken the role of elected servants and have placed themselves as leaders over the people. This must change. Government is to ensure the freedoms of all its people, and never suppress it.
- Our planet and home is in need of real attention. Our wildlife is in jeopardy. We must as a nation strive to create better forms of energy and to educate our children on the need to understand the balance of life.
- Healthcare should never be out of reach for any taxpayer. I purpose a balance of for-profit healthcare and a universal free healthcare for all taxpayers. Healthcare that holds the idea that healthcare is between the doctor and patient when it comes to all physical, emotional, and mental issues. The government is to remain outside the scope of medical decisions.
Equality and religious coexistence have always been an issue. I will strive to create a environment of hope, tolerance and acceptance of all people.
