Jordan Conley

Where Conley stands

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Health care for all, ending homelessness, taxing the rich, having a living wage, ending war, food security, having public education run from pre k through college,

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to visionary scientists like Jacque Fresco and Buckminster Fuller. They both thought about making society as great as it can be over all else. I look up to revolutionaries like Fred Hampton, James Baldwin, Malcom X, Tupac Shakur, Angela Davis, Thomas Sankara, Petris Lamumba, Ibrahim Traorè, Fanny Lue Hammer, Stokley Carmichael, and the Black Panthers. These are examples of people who stood up for the people even in the face of danger. Many of these people gave their lives to better their people.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

That they tell the truth. They do what they run on. And they work for the people.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Executing what they run. Using the bully pulpit to get people excited about and involved in politics. Also helping to politically educate the populis.
