Richard Kahle participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 15, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Richard Kahle's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | •Our campaign confronts the nation's trillion-dollar deficits with a specific, detailed approach to cut next year’s deficit by $405 billion while restoring Social Security for all future retirees. •Our campaign will never accept contributions from corporations, registered lobbyists, political action committees (PACs), or any other interest group. •As your representative and a combat veteran, I will exercise humility and restraint when voting to deploy our military force. I will stand against any unnecessary and wasteful war.[2][3] |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Ending lobbyist influence and corporate donations, Federal budget deficit and restoring Social SecurityCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

” |
Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Richard Kahle answered the following:
What legacy would you like to leave?
| “ | America’s way forward is not with political parties. Democrats and Republicans have eroded our trust in government by acting in the interest of corporations and lobbyists. Now, more than ever, we need calm, reasonable independents, free of lobbyist influence. My candidacy as a moderate independent for California’s 50th U.S. Congressional District is a step in that direction.[3] | ” |
| “ | Federal budget deficit and restoring Social Security[3] | ” |
