Dan Eubanks completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Eubanks' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.

Expand all | Collapse all

I am a husband, father, and former business owner. I have served as a pastor for the last 18 years in addition to representing district 25 in the Mississippi House of Representatives for the last 8 years. I have been married to my wife Corey for the last 24 years and we have a 15 year old son.

I am a Constitutional, conservative, Christian who believes in the founding principles and documents of our great Republic. I will always champion the values of human life (regardless of age) along with the freedom and liberty that each and every life deserve. I am a fiscal conservative, and have fought hard these last 8 years for smaller government and lower taxes.

  • Secure out borders. A nation is only as sovereign as its borders. With 100,000 Americans a year dying of Chinese fentanyl which is crossing our southern border, the mass crossings of hundreds of thousands of bad actors from nations like China and the middle east (and who mean to do our nation harm), and the level of human trafficking that has followed in the wake of millions of illegals...it is our greatest national security threat which exists today.
  • We must reign in our national debt. With $34 trillion in debt and growing exponentially every year, along with almost $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities, we are headed for an economic collapse which will destroy our country. We must balance the budget.
  • The woke, socialist, gender confused agenda that has swept through our government, its institutions, and our educational institutions must be addressed. Objective truth is not relative and the Constitution does not allow for the stripping of one individuals rights to further an agenda of another's.

I am an ardent supporter and defender of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and fight to protect all of our freedoms and liberties when government at all levels start to encroach or chip away at them.

Jesus Christ, my parents, Ronald Reagan, and our nation's founding fathers. I try to live a self-less and servant hearted life, and always strive to make this nation and world a better place. Most of the people I look up to have lived their lives for others and ideals greater than themselves.

Honesty, Integrity, Humility, Selflessness, Boldness, and a Moral Compass.

Hardworking, Selfless, Servant Hearted, Educated, Business Minded, People Person, Bold, Brave and a Patriot who loves his country.

To look out for those who live in his or her state by advocating for, through facilitating and interceding between them and our federal agencies, to pass legislation and laws that improves the life, liberty, property, and happiness of our citizenry, and to fight evil and lies on whatever front they may exist,

To be the kind of person that others would be inspired by for being brave, bold, and leaving the world a better place than I found it. To be remembered as someone who invested in people and their lives, showing compassion to all, and staying unwaveringly true to my faith and political ideals.

Lawn boy from age 7-18, then also became a paper boy at 12.

The Bible - I believe that everything one needs to live an inspired, good, and hope filled life, they will find within its pages. I also believe that everything that they will need to prepare them for the next life, they will find in there as well.

Captain America - he loved his country, was driven by ideals and a moral code, and was brave when it came to defending his nation and the innocent no matter what.

Finding a balance between work and family.

Debt, Border Protection, Weaponized Justice System, Defense of our Constitutionally protected Freedoms and Liberties

I support term limits, and have signed a term limits pledge. It was never our founding fathers intent for individuals to go and remain in office for a lifetime. Our federal agencies need term limits as well, as the administrative state is where most of the power in our nation resides. Pushing one without the other, would create even more problems.

The US Senate and its make up, puts every state on a level playing field when it come to representation. It is the check and balance to our system of government between itself and the House. It is also the institution that confirms many key positions (i.e. heads of agencies, judges, etc.) throughout our government which directly affects our citizens quality of life and freedoms.

Experience in government is always a benefit, as with experience with any job. I do not believe however that they should go and stay there for 30, 40, or 50 years as many have done.

I believe that it can be a necessary and much needed tool when bad legislation is proposed. As with any tool, it can always be abused, but that is no reason to do away with it.

What do you get when you cross a rhinoceros with and elephant? Elephino

Their entire history and body of work along with any partisan or unconstitutional behavior or judgements

I will work to build a coalition of like minded Senators and US Reps so that we can shepherd good legislation and kill bad legislation through both chambers.

Some compromise in life is always necessary to advance society and keep the peace, but too much compromise can lead to an individual or nation's downfall. There are some items I will never compromise on, and some that I am willing to give concessions.

Often and thoroughly and in a nonpartisan fashion. A lack of accountability always breeds evil. It is up to our Congress and Senate to be the watchmen over corruption, graft, and unconstitutional behavior.

I have been endorsed by the NRA, Mississippi Right to Life, Prolife Mississippi, Have the highest conservative rating of anyone currently serving in Mississippi as ranked by the American Conservative Union, and am rated as the only "Verified Conservative" in the race by the American Family Association and iVoter.com.

What does their life's body of work display when it comes to protecting and defending our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and American way of life.

Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, Energy and Natural Resources, Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Armed Services, Founding Budget

They should be vigorous, thorough, and findings accessible by all. The government has nothing to give that it doesn't first take from someone else. Every American tax paying citizen is due a high level of accountability.

It is all about the checks and balances built into our form of government. The Governor is the last check for legislation passed before it becomes law. I believe the two should work together whenever possible to advance the interests of the state and its residents, but there should be clear separation as to roles. Our founding fathers intended the three branches of government to work in conjunction with each other, but also to act as a check on each other and their powers granted.

Dependence on federal dollars, corruption, and government over reach into the lives of its residents.

Yes. As with anything in life, if you cannot build a coalition or team, you greatly reduce your chances of fostering success in the legislative process (whether that be passing good legislation or killing bad legislation).

A gentleman who's grandfather was taking his young mother to make her have an abortion when she got pregnant with him, when she jumped from the car and ran off because she didn't want to end his life. He is alive today and making a big impact in those around him because of the actions of his mother.

What do you get when you cross a rhinoceros with and elephant? Elephino

They should definitely oversee. Letting the Governor have carte blanche authority to invoke emergency powers and them keep them in place indefinitely is wrong. There should be approval from the legislature to extend every 30 days.

Some compromise in life is always necessary to keep advance society and keep the peace, but too much compromise can lead to an individual or nations downfall. There are some items I will never compromise on, and some that I am willing to give concessions.

I have already introduced scores of bills.

2019

Dan Eubanks did not complete Ballotpedia's 2019 Candidate Connection survey.

2015

Eubanks listed the following issues on his campaign website:[5]

  • Federalism
Excerpt: "Over the past decade, we have seen an erosion like never before of both our individual and state's rights. Now is the time for us as individuals and state legislatures to stand up and fight to preserve our freedoms, before even that right too is gone."
  • State debt
Excerpt: "A balanced budget and debt removal are more than just things households should strive for; but all levels of government as well. All of us should make fiscal responsibility our mantra. Only then will we see on an individual, city, state and national level, that true economic peace and security we all so fully desire."
  • Education
Excerpt: "Charter schools and freedom of choice should be seriously considered. The debate as to whether or not Common Core will actually only hurt us more, should be revisited."

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Mississippi

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
