Do you think there will be more bipartisanship in Washington following the capital’s sendoff for President George H.W. Bush?

You voted:

1. Yes. The themes of bipartisanship and patriotism struck a chord with politicians.

2. Yes. The repeated references to honor, duty and selflessness should carry over.

3. No. Just as with Sen. John McCain’s funeral, the bipartisan spirit will fade.

4. No. It’s not the same Washington as in Bush’s day. Partisan fighting will resume.

5. Unsure. It’s hard to say whether recent events will change the tone in D.C.

Do you think the Killeen school district is doing a good job keeping the public updated on its bond projects?

You voted:

1. Yes. The district is providing regular news releases and construction videos.

2. Yes. KISD is providing a running accounting of where the project budgets stand.

3. No. The public didn’t have any input before some bond projects were changed.

4. No. Updates are fine, but this is no longer the bond package that voters passed.

5. Unsure. It’s hard to say whether the district’s updates have been sufficient.

Do you think the city of Killeen should put more money into its Downtown Streetscaping Project?

You voted:

1. Yes. The project has improved the area’s appearance; it should be expanded.

2. Yes. If the city hopes to lure businesses and residents downtown, this is a must.

3. No. The downtown area is a lost cause. The money should be used elsewhere.

4. No. Killeen can’t afford a total makeover, and scaled-back efforts aren’t worth it.

5. Unsure. It’s hard to say how much the city should spend on revitalizing the area.

Do you agree with the proposed Killeen street maintenance fee?

You voted:

1. Yes. The fee won’t impact residents much, but it will provide $1.6 million for roads.

2. Yes. It spreads the responsibility for city road maintenance equitably.

3. No. The fee may be small, but the city shouldn’t add it to residents’ tax burden.

4. No. There is no assurance the city will spend the revenue from the fee wisely.

5. Unsure. It’s hard to say whether the fee is a good strategy for funding road repairs.

Do you think Texas House District 54 will be a Democratic-leaning district by the 2020 election?

You voted:

1. Yes. The district’s demographics are changing, and Democrats are resurgent.

2. Yes. If the party keeps making gains nationally, the local district will reflect that.

3. No. Democrats may be more competitive, but it’s still basically a GOP district.

4. No. Unless the courts redraw district lines, Republicans will be in the majority.

5. Unsure. A lot will depend on the candidates running and the voters’ enthusiasm.

What developments or features would you like to see in the future growth of Killeen?

You voted:

1. More parks, green spaces, walking trails and bike paths.

2. More high-end housing developments and gated communities.

3. Mature trees and water features in new residential developments.

4. More community swimming pools and water parks.

5. Better street lighting and more sidewalks.

What do you think of the lower crime rates this year in Killeen?

You voted:

1. Great news. Crime is going down.

2. It’s promising, but let’s see how the year turns out.

3. Haven’t noticed. Crime is still bad in Killeen.

4.. Interesting, but more analysis needs to be done.

5.. Seems questionable. Let’s see the full reports.

Early voting starts this week for the Nov. 6 midterm elections. How will the balance of power change in the U.S. House and Senate?

You voted:

1. Republicans will retain control of both the House and Senate

2. Democrats will gain control of both houses of Congress.

3. Democrats will gain control of the House; Republicans will hold the Senate.

4. Republicans will control the House but Democrats will take over the Senate.

5. There are too many close races to predict how Congress will look after Nov. 6.

Do you favor straight-ticket voting for state and national elections?

You voted:

1. Yes. Making a single mark to choose every candidate in a party is more efficient.

2. Yes. Straight-ticket voting is perfect for those who identify strongly with a party.

3. No. Straight-party voting discourages research and independent thinking.

4. No. It’s a bad idea. Only eight states allow it, and Texas is phasing it out in 2020.

5. Unsure. It’s hard to say if it’s efficient or if the practice furthers political partisanship.

Do you think the Senate’s confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh as Supreme Court justice will have an impact on the Nov. 6 midterm elections?

You voted:

1. Yes. Democrats are bound to use the partisan confirmation vote to rally voters.

2. Yes. Conservatives are likely to be more enthusiastic after the confirmation vote.

3. No. The divisive rhetoric is likely to die down, and voters will move on.

4. No. Congressional races will be decided on other issues; it will be a nonfactor.

5. Unsure. It’s hard to say if the confirmation process will factor into voters’ decisions.
