Ballotpedia survey responses

Rick Lindsey completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Lindsey's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Economics - we must make Kansas as affordable as possible in these inflationary times.
- Education - At the top of my priorities is ensuring students get the same quality education regardless of physical address.
- Fund essential services - Make sure healthcare options are available for all without relying on Feds. for delivery of services. Control costs where possible!
This comes down to bad economics and a lack of understanding of how policies enacted have impacted us all. It should be noted these failed policies have come from both Republicans and Democrats. It is time for a change, real change, where the interests of people are put above Parties and entrenched interest groups.
