Bruno Amato completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2021. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Amato's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Today in the United States 40% of families can't afford a $400 unexpected expense. We need to do so much better for our working-class families so they aren't living paycheck to paycheck. One of the ways Bruno thinks we can do this is by providing healthcare through a single-payer system.
- The unemployment rate in CA-23 is over 3% higher than the statewide unemployment rate. Families are struggling and we need a representative that will bring high quality union jobs to this district and fight for working families.
- Kevin McCarthy is a traitor to this country who puts Q-Anon and Domestic Terrorists above his constituents. His actions leading up to and in response to January 6th show that he is no leader. Unseating him has never been more important. Bruno is a Navy Veteran and Union worker whose priorities will always be service to his country and the working people.
