Amy Luciano completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2019. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Luciano's responses.
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
I will focus and utilize the powers of my office to address our crisis with education, Homelessness, and the opioid epidemic while supporting and providing our local law enforcement with all of the tools they need.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
Culture and Society: abortion, and civil rights. I believe it is important that we protect the unborn. Further, preservation of our civil rights are paramount to ensure equal justice for all. Economic Affairs: budget and taxes. I believe focusing on diversification of economic reach will assist in lowering taxes imposed upon our citizens. Education: elementary and secondary, and higher education. Our children are our future leaders. It is critical to provide them with the fundamental tools and opportunity to ensure their success and that of future generations to come.
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
Not to sound stereotypical, but I look up to President Donald J. Trump. His ability to overcome diversity and rhetoric amongst his peers has been a key factor in my decision to run for political office.
Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?
The Prince by Machiavelli.
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
Our current elected officials have fallen into the “unicorn” political status. They say what is needed at the time, avoid criticism, and do all of this by making false promises to the public. It is important that we move out of the old and in with the new.
What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?
My ability to interpret and understand the law. Have a keen sense to resolve disputes, and my ability of fantastic memory recall.
What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?
To act and perform as the CEO of the city, to instill order in midst of chaos, to support our local law enforcement, and to ensure the highest protection of our citizens in our great city. The decisions the mayor makes may not be popular or win the approval of all, but a mayor must be able to look at all perspectives of the issues presented to them to make the right and not popular decision.
What legacy would you like to leave?
That regardless of the impossible odds, I was able to overcome any obstacles in my path to create a successful career, business, and non-profit to assist those who truly need it in the community.
What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?
The Challenger Space Shuttle Explosion. I was 8yrs old.
What was your very first job? How long did you have it?
Auto Finance manager at age 16 until I was 18.
What is your favorite holiday? Why?
Thanksgiving. It’s time for family, friends and neighbors to come together to give thanks for what god has given them in life.
What is your favorite book? Why?
The Art of War. This book works in conjunction with the Prince and provides you an insight as to others intentions and the false narrative they may portray to confuse you with chaos and turmoil.
A mayor is a leader in his or her city. What does that mean to you?
To protect and diligently serve my community with only their interest in my heart and not those of others who seek out greed and power.
What do you love most about your city?
Our history, past and culture. It’s important we don’t allow it to be forgotten.
What do you perceive to be your city's greatest challenges over the next decade?
Our greatest challenge will deal with the shortage of water crisis we will endure.
What do you believe is the ideal relationship between your city and the state government?
That they work hand in hand to communicate effectively to eliminate those sub-entities that focuses solely on their profits and not the betterment of the community.
What do you believe is the ideal relationship between your city and the federal government?
I believe our State, City, and Federal Government must work collectively and in conjunction together to properly serve, protect, and educate our community.
