(Items P1 - P12, below)

P1: Communication: Parliament will consist of 150 candidates. Perhaps the most
significant issue over the first 1-2 years is how Parliament members will manage
international relationships between each other and with Parliament members of
Earth nations. Given this, what are your plans for improving communication
amongst Parliament members, between Parliament and the Asgardian citizenry,
and between Asgardia and the rest of Earth?

P2: Innovation: What policies will best ensure that Asgardia remains at the
forefront of innovation?

P3: Space: There is a political debate over Asgardia’s national approach to space
exploration and use. What should Asgardia’s national goals be for space
exploration and Earth observation from space, and what steps would you take to
achieve them?

P4: Scientific Integrity: Evidence from science is the surest basis for fair and just
public policy, but that is predicated on the integrity of that evidence and of the
scientific process used to produce it, which must be both transparent and free
from political bias and pressure. How will you foster a culture of scientific
transparency and accountability in government, while protecting scientists and
federal agencies from political interference in their work?

P5: Research: Many scientific advances require long-term investment to fund

research over a period of longer than the two, four, or six year terms that govern
political cycles. In the current climate of budgetary constraints, what are your
science and engineering research priorities and how will you balance short-term
versus long-term funding?

P6: Education: How would you work to ensure that all Asgardians of any age are
prepared to address 21st century challenges and, further, that the public has an
adequate level of STEM literacy (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics) in
an age dominated by complex science and technology?

P7: The Internet: The Internet has become an important foundation of economic,
social, law enforcement, and military activity. What steps will you take to balance
security with open communication?

P8: Global Challenges: We now live in a global economy with a large and growing
human population. These factors create economic, public health, and
environmental challenges that do not remain contained with national borders.
How would you work with Parliament to balance national interests with global
cooperation to resolve challenges such as natural disasters?

P9: Climate Change: The Earth's climate is changing and political discussion has
become divided over both the science and the best response. What are your views
on climate change, and how would you act on those views? How might Asgardia
be able to assist the Earth from space with this issue?

P10: Regulations: Science is essential to many of the laws and policies that keep
Asgardians safe and secure. How would science inform your decisions to add,
modify, or remove regulations, and how would you encourage a thriving business
sector while promoting a global unity?

government bodies. How would you support the economic structure of Asgardia?
What action will you take to encourage the growth of business and service in our
jurisdiction?
