Ballotpedia survey responses[edit]

See also: Ballotpedia's candidate surveys

Pat Manley participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on April 6, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Pat Manley's responses follow below.^[2]

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

“

1) Create more high paying manufacturing jobs and increase related vocational training.

2) AS a businessman, it is imperative to lower taxes and cut federal spending if we expect long term economic growth.
3) Strengthen both border security and military to safeguard our national sovereignty.^[3]^[4]

”

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

“ I am passionate about returning control of education back to local schools, teachers and parents. I have no problem with states setting general standards, but the federal government should have no role in education. Ultimately I would like to shut down the Department of Education and end federal funding of schools, which will require lowering federal taxes by an amount equal to the percentage of income taxes now budgeted for education by Congress.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many^[4] ”

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Pat Manley answered the following:

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

“	I look up to my father more than anyone. He passed away in 2009. My dad worked very hard, was a wonderful father and always stuck to his principles in everything he did. We never had much financially, but being around him every day was more valuable than all the money in the world. He was just an incredible role model and an even greater man.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

“	"American Experience:The Presidents- Reagan"- My beliefs were very much shaped by the former President.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

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

“	An elected official must be willing listen to those who are impacted most by their decisions.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

“	I believe I will be successful because my number one priority in office is to place the needs of the district first and I will do what I say I will do.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

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

“	Core responsibilities are to understand where the voters in my district stand on the issues, to be accessible and receptive to their suggestions, then to fight on behalf of those you represent.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What legacy would you like to leave?

“	I don't think about my legacy. If I do the right thing, stand up for the Constitution, and treat others with respect, any legacy will take care of itself.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

“	The assassination of John F. Kennedy. I was eight years old and in third grade. It was the first and only time I saw my father cry.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

“	My first job was in seventh grade selling potato chips at local minor league football games. I did this for two years along wit cleaning carpets with my dad.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What happened on your most awkward date?

“	My car broke down on my way back from a school dance. Not a great first impression.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What is your favorite holiday? Why?

“	July 4th. I love the atmosphere and the fireworks, but its the meaning behind the celebration that I most love.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What is your favorite book? Why?

“	One of my favorite books is "Freedom's Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in World War II", by Arthur Herman. It is the true story of how America's industries led our country from total unpreparedness to defeating Nazi Germany and Japan in only a few short years. If the story were not true, no one would believe it.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

“	An honest Congressman!^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What is your favorite thing in your home or apartment? Why?

“	My dad's Coast Guard duffel bag from WWII. It traveled with him all over the Pacific, including to Japan immediately after the A-bomb was dropped, so I feel it is a connection to history as well as my dad when he was a very young man.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

“	"Danny Boy"^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

“	I never look at obstacles as being a struggle, as much as I look at them as challenges to overcome. One of the most challenging events in my life was when I was diagnosed with leukemia in 2011. It was literally a life and death struggle made difficult by the fact that your enemy is silent, invisible and never rests.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

“	The House of Representatives is the branch of government closest to the People and the only branch that controls the purse strings. This means that a member of the House has the most direct connection to the voters and is the most accountable to them. Anyone who running for this office needs to understand this or they should not run in the first place.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

“	Absolutely not. In fact, I believe previous political experience is a huge liability and brings with it bad habits and a culture that rewards the politically weak for being ineffective. The number one reason why Congress is such a mess is it infested with individuals who were promoted from local and state government to a seat in Congress. A representative from the private sector, specifically from the business world, is better connected to the voters and understand how to get things done.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

“	Immigration, border security and education.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

“	Budget: Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education. Science, Space and Technology: Space Small Business: Economic Growth, Tax and Capital Access^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

If you are a current representative, why did you join your current committees?

“	N/A^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

“	Yes.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What are your thoughts on term limits?

“	I support term limits in Congress and the Supreme Court.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

What process do you favor for redistricting?

“	I support redistricting in order to make each district more compact.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

If you are not currently a member of your party’s leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives, would you be interested in joining the leadership? If so, in what role?

“	Yes, the role of^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

“	Senator Mike Lee. He is one of the most solidly constitutional members of Congress in many decades.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley

Both sitting representatives 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?

“	I've had many. One that stands out is a woman I met who worked for years to be promoted to a successful restaurant manager position, only to have her dreams taken away by an auto accident that impaired her ability to handle the many responsibilities that come with the job. She was forced to quit, but after three years, refuses to accept any type of disability payments or government assistance. Her story was heartbreaking, but her determination is admirable. She is a role model for the American spirit that never quits and never takes no for an answer. I have no doubt she will overcome her injuries and find success in the near future.^[4]	”
—Pat Manley
