Alonzo Perry II completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Perry's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
Perry, who was raised in a military family that moved all around the country, eventually landed in the Eastern Panhandle after his father’s military service ended. A graduate of Musselman High School, he followed his father’s footsteps in military service and enlisted in the U.S. Army as an Infantryman.
- Challenging political elitist. The political establishment are diverging on issues unimportant to the everyday working individual. Americans want safe communities, functional schools and a healthy economy
- Public safety. Politicians often give lip service without results on issues such as tackling the opioid epidemic. It is time we take action to ensure we follow through with our promises.
- Ending corruption. Politicians are incentivized by monetary compensation from corporate enterprise. I refuse to except corporate money and put the American family before interests of big business.
Common sense government. We need to eliminate the notion that we elect managers and not public servants. We must eliminate the notion that politicians have a greater knowledge of issues then the public and should dictate what is to be done. We must consult the people directly affected by said legislation and return the consent of the people to the forefront of policy. The ivory tower has been built high and far removed from the average American, I hope to return our voice.
Less politicians and more economist. I love Thomas Sowell, Milton Friedman and F.A. Hayek. I also enjoy learning from warriors such as General Mattis and Marcus Aurelius. Anyone with a sobering take on worldly and local issues. Some of the sharpest individuals I have met were not college educated aristocrats.
Thomas Sowell's discography and the Bible
Tempered, compassionate and listens more than they speak.
I like to innovate and find creative ideas within the confines of reality. I understand small government and seek to limit the functions and maximize market output for the sake of our families.
To relay the concerns of his or her constituents
No legacy, I just hope to reinstall faith in a system that has been run by corporate greed.
I remember 9/11 happened while in my first-grade class. We cut on the class tv and saw the second plane hit the tower prompting an early dismissal. A few years later my father deployed to Fallujah, Iraq.
Lowe's, I was 18 and had enlisted in the Army at 17. I was waiting to ship out to Basic Training and wanted to work with my hands in the receiving department.
No struggle, it is a matter of perspective and how you choose to respond to adversity
A Governor who seeks the consent of his legislature as they are a representation of the population. During COVID the Governor of West Virginia spent Federal funds without the consent of the legislature and that is the action of a King, not an elected official.
Finding an identity. West Virginia is coal country and seeing the Federal Government destroy our source of revenue and sense of identity. We have to redefine and provide a future in what it means to be a West Virginian.
No, learning the mechanisms is important but a function of bureaucrats. The real source of great governance derives from the heart.
Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse, Judiciary, Jails and Prisons and Health and Human Resources
Depends on the specific issue. Compromise on policy is fine, a compromise on a fundamental value is unacceptable.
