Ballotpedia survey responses

Jarred Cannon participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on March 26, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Jarred Cannon's responses follow below.[8]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Bringing new jobs into West Virginia. 2) Prioritize state spending to lower taxes on the middle class. |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | I am extremely passionate about keeping young people in our state. Over the last few years, West Virginia has seen a continually decreasing population as a result of our state's declining economy. As a young person myself, keeping folks my age in our state is extremely important for our future. I want to make West Virginia a place where I can raise and provide for a family.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[10]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Jarred Cannon answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
| “ | Though I may be a bit biased as the former political director for his re-election campaign, I have always looked up to U.S. Congressman Evan Jenkins (R-WV). As our Representative in Congress, he has placed a major focus on constituent service by hiring great staffers and keeping our communities in mind through everything he does. Constituent service is a key aspect of public service too often forgotten in today's politics.[10] | ” |
2016
Cannon's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[11]
Abortion
- Excerpt: "While this ruling is unlikely to be overturned on a national scale, it is important that we pass laws and restrictions state-wide to protect the unborn, including legislation that enforces mandatory ultrasounds or outlaws dismemberment abortions."
Budget
- Excerpt: "One of my most passionate stances and perhaps my most pertinent to West Virginia's future is that of budget reform."
Common Core
- Excerpt: "We need to restore control of our education system not only to the state level, but also to a more local level so that there is more family involvement in a child's learning."
Constitution
- Excerpt: "The liberties granted to us by our Constitution should not be thrown away simply by the whim of an executive order written by a President and their pen. Protecting the constitution of both our nation and our state is one of my utmost priorities."
Gun Rights
- Excerpt: "The second amendment guarantees the right to bear arms to all citizens of our free nation. That right should never be infringed upon by our local, state, or Federal Government."

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
