Ballotpedia survey responses

Paris Wade participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 15, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Paris Wade's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Ensuring that Nevada remains a place where people can start a business and pursue the American Dream. Many of the policies my opponent attempted to pass last session would be devastating to small business owners, and, as a result, the job market. 2) The current state of Education in Nevada is terrible. I want to help ensure a bright future for all of our children by working to improve the student-to-teacher ratio, providing financial literacy education to our high schoolers, and ensuring that School Choice is available to everyone. 3) I want to ensure that our district is safe for its citizens. This includes adding the 4 new firehouses our district is in need of and working with both the fire and police department to ensure they have all the necessary resources. I am also working with the necessary people to bring more sidewalks to our district so children can be safe walking home from school and playing outside.[2][3] | ” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | I have always had a strong interest in public service. While I personally champion the ideas of entrepreneurship, education, and safety, it will be my duty first and foremost to serve and represent the interest of the people of Assembly District 41. I look forward to sitting down, listening to their problems, and helping find REAL solutions to them both before and AFTER I am elected.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Paris Wade answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
| “ | One of my personal heroes has always been President Abraham Lincoln. As a kid, I always admired the hard work and countless hours he put into serving the people of the United States and doing what was right. I hope to be able to live up to the incredible standards he set, not only as a President, but also as a defender of our Constitution and all the rights it guarantees to this country's citizens.[3] | ” |
| “ | I am an avid reader of history, but as far as my philosophy is concerned, it's simple, "Do the best job I can do for the people who got me elected by protecting their rights and allowing them to pursue their own American Dream."[3] | ” |
| “ | Integrity, hard work, and an honest desire to help the people that they were chosen to represent.[3] | ” |
| “ | I am a genuinely hard working individual who is excited by the opportunity to work countless hours if it means I can help make Nevada a great place for ALL Nevadans. I also have business expertise that allows me to understand the real-world struggles that businesses face every day. This allows me to assess how proposed legislation will affect businesses and make sure it will not stifle the entrepreneurial spirit that makes Nevada so great.[3] | ” |
| “ | The core responsibilities of any elected official are to: 1) Accurately represent the interests of the people they were elected to represent 2) Learn and understand the effects of any legislation they are considering sponsoring, co-sponsoring, or opposing 3) Propose legislation that best serves the interests that people that they represent. When people tell public servants what is important to them, it's our job to LISTEN. 4) Oppose any legislation that violates our basic rights as Americans and, in my case, as Nevadans.[3] | ” |
| “ | I hope to leave a legacy that shows I was a real agent for positive change. My goal is to leave my community, my state, and my country better for future generations by ensuring they have all the resources and opportunities necessary to succeed.[3] | ” |
| “ | Sadly, one of the first historical events I remember was the horrible terror attacks of September 11, 2001. I was only 11 years old at the time and was in a history class when the event happened. I went home that day and sat with my parents in horror while watching the news.[3] | ” |
| “ | My first job was at McDonalds as a fry cook. I held the job for a year and learned the value of hard work at a young age.[3] | ” |
| “ | My favorite holiday the Fourth of July because I love getting together with family and celebrating the birth of our incredible country.[3] | ” |
| “ | Poor Richard's Almanac because I look up Ben Franklin and admire his hard work and determination in creating this country. He was one of America's original entrepreneurs and journalists.[3] | ” |
| “ | Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games because she's a strong, empowering leader and she did what she felt was right for the people she loved.[3] | ” |
| “ | My two cute cats. They are adorable![3] | ” |
| “ | America by Neil Diamond.[3] | ” |
| “ | The attack on my first amendment rights as an American. I believe strongly our right to free speech and believe it's under attack constantly in this country.[3] | ” |
| “ | Both the State Assembly and the State Senate exist to do great work for the people of Nevada and they both play an equally important role in doing so.[3] | ” |
| “ | History shows us that many great legislatures, like Abraham Lincoln, started their career in public service as State Assemblypeople or State Congresspeople. While it certainly does benefit a new legislature to have some understanding of both the law and of business, a career in politics should NEVER be a pre-requisite for any elected position in our country.[3] | ” |
| “ | Nevada will face many challenges over the next decade as more people move here for both work and affordable housing. It is important to remember that, while we fix things like education and healthcare, we cannot let businesses and jobs fall to the wayside. All these aspects must work in unison to ensure all Nevadans are given the future they deserve.[3] | ” |
| “ | It's the governor's job to remain a key check to the power of a State Legislature. While they should work together when possible, our civic systems were designed to be broken into the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branch so that each could act as a check-and-balance on the others.[3] | ” |
| “ | It is absolutely beneficial to build relationships with other legislatures. While we always must remember that our loyalty should always lie with those we represent, strong relationships make it easier to propose and pass bills that benefit those same constituents.[3] | ” |
| “ | While the current redistricting process is far from perfect, I believe that knee-jerk responses will simply make political gerrymandering even worse. Districts should be based on population size and industry-based land use, not party registration.[3] | ” |
| “ | The legislative committees I would like to be a part of are the Committee on Industrial Programs, the Legislative Committee on Education, the Legislative Committee on Energy, and the Legislative Committee on Health Care.[3] | ” |
| “ | I would always be interested in joining leadership if they find me a fit choice for a needed position and as long as it will go to further the interests of the people I represent.[3] | ” |
| “ | Abraham Lincoln is my political hero and that includes his legislative work.[3] | ” |
| “ | I have not put too much thought into potential future roles I could play in politics. My goal right now is to get elected as a Nevada State Assemblyman and do the best job for Assembly District 41 I possibly can.[3] | ” |
| “ | One hardworking man in my district told me that school safety is incredibly important to him. There was an incident at the school his daughter goes to where someone brought a gun on the school property and start shooting at the building. Thank God there were no kids in the building at the time but it broke my heart to know that he had to worry about his daughters safety while she went to school. I vowed to him that we would work together to make sure that this wouldn't happen again and I would do everything in my power as an assemblyman to make sure our kids are safe in school.[3] | ” |
