I began my political journey in 2021 after my IUD failed and I had to navigate the ups and downs of a surprise pregnancy, loss, and then another surprise pregnancy. Roe was overtuned during my maternity leave, and I sprang into action. I started a TikTok to educate voters, and I became the county chair for our local democratic party. Then in 2024, I found out my opponent would run unopposed. I stepped up and haven't looked back. I work full-time in tech and run my congressional campaign to fight for working-class people everywhere. We need more moms in Congress.\t\t\t</span></div></div></div></div><div class=\"panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse-key-message-309345-2025-10-13\" id=\"heading-key-message-309345-2025-10-13\" role=\"tab\"><p class=\"panel-title\" style=\"font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;\"><a aria-controls=\"collapse-key-message-309345-2025-10-13\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordion\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse-key-message-309345-2025-10-13\" role=\"button\"><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-right pull-right\"></i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down pull-right\"></i>\t\t\t\tPlease list below 3 key messages of your campaign.

The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Broderick's responses.\nExpand all | Collapse all\nWho are you? Tell us about yourself. I'm Victoria Broderick, I'm a mother of 2 young boys, four fur babies, a foster with our local humane society, and a member of the LGBTQAI+ community. I began my political journey in 2021 after my IUD failed and I had to navigate the ups and downs of a surprise pregnancy, loss, and then another surprise pregnancy. Roe was overtuned during my maternity leave, and I sprang into action. I started a TikTok to educate voters, and I became the county chair for our local democratic party. Then in 2024, I found out my opponent would run unopposed. I stepped up and haven't looked back. I work full-time in tech and run my congressional campaign to fight for working-class people everywhere. We need more moms in Congress. Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? Saftey Affordability Freedom What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Healthcare, education, reproductive freedom, common-sense gun legislation, and money out of politics What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official? Honesty, character, transparency What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office? Service. Our job is to serve our constituents. What legacy would you like to leave? Sustainable and our democracy being safe. What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time? Princess Diana's death. I was 7. What is your favorite book? Why? Pride and Prejudice. It's not a love story, it's a commentary of society and social standards of the time. What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution? The House and the federal government help protect the rights of all taxpayers. Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics? It is preferred, but it's not a requirement for elected office. Representatives should know how the average working person lives and their struggles. What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? Protecting our democracy and the rights of taxpayers. Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives? Yes, we need elections every two years to give voters a choice. What are your thoughts on term limits? I think we need to have term limits. Give our representatives time to learn and do their jobs. Terms should depend on the office, the length between elections, and should be attainable for working-class people. Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after? Bernie Sanders Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking? Yes- I do. The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected? Our job is to make sure our government and state taxes are working for them. How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers? We should always be self-reflective of government power.

The Equity Alliance What role should the United States government have in the development or use of artificial intelligence? We should ensure our taxpayers, our children, and their jobs are protected. What legislation would you enact related to election administration in the United States? Protection of voter rights and access.\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.
