Many thanks to Vic Backlund for responding to our survey. The candidate's answers have been reproduced below.

1. In the 2003 Session, I will work to achieve Guaranteed Fairness for Injured Workers in the Legal Process.
   "I believe that injured workers should be treated fairly."
   
2. In the 2003 Session, I will work to achieve Getting Injured Workers Back to Safe, Living-wage Work
   "In principle, yes, although I don't know what the details of this issue are. I'd have to see any proposals before I could commit."
   
3. In the 2003 Session, I will work to achieve Making Insurance Companies Accountable When They Don’t Pay Mandated Benefits to Injured Workers
   "In principle, yes. What do you have in mind?"
   
4. In the 2003 Session, I will work to achieve Making "Required Medical Exams" Fairer to Injured Workers
   "Undecided, primarily because I'm not aware of what we have now. Are you saying that the current system provides unfair exams?"
   
5. In the 2003 Session, I will work to achieve Improving Disability Benefits for Workers Who Can't Return to Work
   "I have supported the efforts of the governor's task force on this issue. Is that not satisfactory?"
