Ballotpedia survey responses

John Fredrickson completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Fredrickson's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Strong Public Education: A strong public school system is the backbone of a healthy, thriving society. We need to ensure that our teachers and schools have the resources they need so that our children can graduate with the skills they need to be successful in today's world. As the parent of a 3 year old, I currently have skin in the game to ensure our schools are strong and our teachers are supported for years to come.
- Expanded Mental Health Resources: We currently have no subject matter expert in mental health in the Unicameral, and it shows. We need this expertise and perspective to ensure we are adequately meeting the needs of all Nebraskans. We need to look at ways we can increase and improve access to mental health resources statewide so that we are all able to thrive. I am the only candidate in this race who has this expertise, and I believe the state will benefit from having this perspective at the table in Lincoln.
- Opportunity & Workforce Retention: If we are serious about Nebraska's future, we need to ensure that we have infrastructure & policies in place that are supportive of working families, that our state is welcoming & inclusive, and that we have a strategic plan for the years to come that is supportive of the well-being of all Nebraskans. Every year we lose young folks to the brain drain, taking their talent elsewhere. We need people in Lincoln who have an intimate understanding of what is driving young people away, and what will keep them here. This is an issue we need to tackle head-on, both for the vibrancy of our communities, and also for our economic sustainability.

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.
