Candidate Connection

Jen Dailey-Provost participated inBallotpedia's candidate survey on July 16, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Jen Dailey-Provost's responses follow below.[3]

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

Healthcare
LGBTQIA+ Rights
Air quality and environmental preservation[4][5]

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

Healthcare and public health policy have been central to my work as a policy advocate for many years. Access to comprehensive healthcare is essential for all people to have the opportunity to live life to its fullest. Public health issues also extend to virtually every aspect of public policy, including air quality, transportation, housing, homelessness, mental and physical health, taxation policy, public lands, energy oversight, intergenerational poverty, immigrant rights, disability rights, and more. I believe that all policy creation must focus first on the outcomes that every individual will experience as a result.Cite error: Invalid<ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[5]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Jen Dailey-Provost answered the following:

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

Individuals who have shaped my outlook and passion for policy include our retiring incumbent, Representative Rebecca Chavez-Houck, Madeleine Albright, Ruth Bader-Ginsberg, and my mom.[5]
Is there a book, essay, film, or something else that best describes your political philosophy?
Madame Secretary by Madeleine Albright, "Enlightenment Now" by Steven Pinker[5]
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
Honesty, integrity, hard work and tenacity, humility, kindness.[5]
What qualities do you possess that would make you a successful officeholder?
I am smart enough to know what I don't know, and I actively seek out individuals who live in my district who are subject matter experts or who are passionate about specific policies. This will help inform me about the complexity and nuance of policy issues that arise.[5]
What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?
Being open and transparent, accessible to constituents, and to be gracious to all individuals, regardless of political ideology or systems of belief.[5]
What legacy would you like to leave?
Substantive positive change for the state's most vulnerable individuals.[5]
What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at that time?
The re-election of Ronald Reagan in 1984. I tried to convince my 4th grade teacher to vote for Walter Mondale instead of Ronald Reagan. She still voted for Reagan.[5]
What was your very first job? How long did you have it?
Working in the kitchen of a retirement home; I worked there for a year in high school.[5]
What happened on your most awkward date?
I was asked out to dinner and my date realized at the end of the evening that he had forgotten his wallet. I was able to pay but since I was in college, my resources were quite slim. I had to spend what I had left in my checking account on dinner.[5]
What is your favorite holiday? Why?
Thanksgiving: it is the holiday where the focus is on bringing family together, but there is no materialism or pressure to buy gifts, gifts and more gifts.[5]
What is your favorite book? Why?
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Austen's writing captures nuance and elegance like no other author I have ever read. Also, Elizabeth Bennett is one of the greatest characters ever created. She's exceptional but still human and fallible, humble and intelligent, generous and spunky.[5]
If you could be any fictional character, who would you be?
Wonder Woman.[5]
What is your favorite thing in your home or apartment? Why?
Our dining room table - it is where our family gathers in the evening to be together, visit, laugh and catch up on the day.[5]
What was the last song that got stuck in your head?
Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode.[5]
What is something that has been a struggle in your life?
Being frightened about how to raise three daughters in an increasingly frightening, divisive world.[5]
(For non-Nebraska candidates) What do you consider the most important differences between the legislative chambers in your state?
The House of Representatives is more dynamic and energetic than the Senate. As a policy advocate, I have always preferred working with members of the House, so I am particularly excited about the opportunity to serve there.[5]
Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?
I do think that it is beneficial. Legislating is incredibly complex and having served in a policy role means that less time is required to climb a very steep learning curve. It is not essential, of course, but I believe that it allows legislators to be more effective more quickly.[5]
What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?
Universal access to healthcare, solving our growing homelessness crisis, solving our acute opioid crisis, curtailing our growing youth suicide rates, addressing our rapidly increasing cost of living that is pricing families out of the market and contributing to our growing incidence of families experiencing homelessness.[5]
What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and the state legislature?
Co-equal branches of government with mutual respect.[5]
Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.
Absolutely. It is impossible to pass good legislation without strong working relationships with legislators across the political spectrum. I'm a bridge builder and I pride myself on finding common ground with virtually everyone.[5]
What process do you favor for redistricting?
Independent redistricting commission.[5]
If you are not a current legislator, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?
Committees: Health and Human Services, Business and Labor, Revenue and Taxation Appropriations Committees: Social Services Appropriations, Higher Ed Appropriations[5]
If you are not currently a member of your party’s leadership in the legislature, would you be interested in joining the leadership? If so, in what role?
At some point in the future, I may be interested in running for a leadership role. Possibly Minority Whip or Caucus Manager.[5]
Is there a particular legislator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?
Representative Rebecca Chavez-Houck[5]
Are you interested in running for a different political office in the future?
No[5]
Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?
While canvassing, I met a father of a young autistic son. He and his family benefited from a law that I helped, as a policy advocate, pass, which required his son's early intervention care to be covered by his insurance (previously there was no requirement for insurance carriers to cover care for autism). His son said hi to me - something, his father said, would not have been possible two years before.[5]

Scorecards

See also:State legislative scorecards andState legislative scorecards in Utah

Ascorecard 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.
