- See also: Ballotpedia's candidate surveys
Doug Marks participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on June 4, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Doug Marks's responses follow below.[3]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | End the Drug war
End our military deployments |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Limitations placed upon the federal gov't.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[5]
|
” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Doug Marks answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
| “ | I have read and felt aligned with some aspects of Barry Goldwater and Calvin Coolidge but I'd have to say Thomas Jefferson would be my 'go to' guy.[5] | ” |
| “ | Critical thinking, Integrity, an understanding of the role of gov't and where it ends.[5] | ” |
| “ | Critical thinking, Integrity, an understanding of the role of gov't and where it ends.[5] | ” |
| “ | Through the filter of the constitution, as a sitting senator I would be beholden to the will of the legislating bodies of the State of Arizona as I would be their voice.[5] | ” |
| “ | A reduction in the federal gov't to levels prior to Lincoln. Repealing the 16th & 17th Amendments. Adding constitutional amendments to specifically define the welfare and commerce clauses based upon the writings in the federalist & anti federalist papers.[5] | ” |
| “ | Bobby Kennedy assassination, I was 7.[5] | ” |
| “ | Delivering newspapers which I did for 3 years.[5] | ” |
| “ | "Make them hear you" from the musical Ragtime. The character Coalhouse makes a passionate plea for remembrance as he is going to give his life so others can live. Yes, I'm a theater nerd.[5] | ” |
| “ | Understanding how taxation is considered, okay.[5] | ” |
| “ | It represents the states in Washington and is the forward face of legislation to the world.[5] | ” |
| “ | Why? Does experience in those give one greater critical thinking skills to find better decisions or solutions? I don't believe it does nor did the founders of this country. These jobs were to be filled by common folks no different than anyone else. There is some education required to function like Robert's Rules of Order and the Senate rules but outside of that a good dose of common sense, integrity, fair play, and an open mind with a desire for peace will suffice.[5] | ” |
| “ | Truly an overplayed waste of time.[5] | ” |
| “ | Depends on the appointee[5] | ” |
| “ | Creating trade friends where we dropped drones and taking care of all the hurt soldiers and their families, as promised![5] | ” |
| “ | Yes.[5] | ” |
| “ | Appropriations, Armed Services, Commerce, Finance, and Foreign Relations.[5] | ” |
| “ | I'd be the only one then there is that...[5] | ” |
| “ | No[5] | ” |
