Emmanuel Suarez completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Suarez's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Overspending is overburdening our country; we are putting our kids and grandchildren in debt forever. Rather than making tough decisions, Washington insists on Taxing and spending its way out of the problems rather than refusing to fix the problem while showing little care and discipline in spending taxpayer money. Spending in the economy is best left to the private sector and businesses. Businesses are more efficient in spending than governments. They need to show profits or face the tangible outcome of bankruptcy. Wasteful spending weakens economic growth and the burden on the shoulders of hard-working Americans and small businesses in the form of higher taxes.
- Law Enforcement has been an intricate part of keeping our communities strong and safe. I support our Law Enforcement to protect our communities and reject the notion of 'De-funding the police'. Our communities are overwhelmingly safer with police than without them. De-funding, dissolving, or drastically reorganizing our police forces Have led to huge increases in crime. People and business communities are now hostages as crime has increased significantly. High crime has contributed to a considerable loss of jobs. As businesses have packed up and left, people have moved to other states. I will work so first responders have the support and tools to keep our communities safe while peacefully protecting the right to assemble.
- America was considered energy independent on his first day in office; Joe Biden canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline's building. He stopped the drilling on energy-rich federal land; the result was a loss of tens of thousands of jobs, and Gas prices have been increasing since. In the wake of the Russian war with Ukraine, Democrats have credited the continued increases in fuel prices Americans have to pay to the Russian invasion. Rather than re-establishing the once Keystone Project and opening up federal land again for drilling, Biden has sought to purchase oil from other countries, such as Venezuela, to ease the price at the gas pump. Democrats continue to push their Green New Deal, which will only add to the federal debt.
he fought for the rights of Black Americans. but I see it as he didn't fight just black Americans but for all. he demonstrated that a movement can be started and won through non violent means, by assembling the masses of people striving to unite under a cause seeking to become one nation. his passion and determination to fight on during the fragile times is something that is carried in the American spirit. he united, was a compassionate and powerful speaker, a great man of faith, he influenced the power of those who were suppressed to help bring about a movement that has changed our country from that time on.
our country has been weekend politically in the world stage. countries do not see the /united States as the world power it once was. Debt is consuming or nations economic ability to grow and the stability of the dollar is greatly compromised. Examples such as Afghanistan and bending to other nations demands to build pipelines as we cut our agreements with the keystone XL pipeline has demonstrated a country that would rather be dependent upon other countries rather than be independent. We need to be Energy Independent again like we were when President Trump was in office. we need to take center stage in becoming the cornerstone of international security. we need to become economically efficient once again as we seek to make the United States a top Economic power

Stop Government Overspending Overspending is overburdening our country; we are putting our kids and grandchildren in debt forever. Rather than making tough decisions, Washington insists on Taxing and spending its way out of the problems rather than refusing to fix the problem while showing little care and discipline in spending taxpayer money. Spending in the economy is best left to the private sector and businesses. Businesses are more efficient in spending than governments. They need to show profits or face the tangible outcome of bankruptcy. Wasteful spending weakens economic growth and the burden on the shoulders of hard-working Americans and small businesses in the form of higher taxes. Overspending is overburdening our country; we are putting our kids and grandchildren in debt forever. Washington needs to cut back on spending and make tough choices. This is not a game of kicking the can down the street and waiting for the next generation to pay the cost. Currently, wasteful spending has put our country further into debt, which adds to the nearly $30 Trillion that America owes. The approach Democrats have used to spend our way out of debt and print more money has contributed to current inflation rates and will add to higher taxes. I would work against wasteful spending in Congress, work to lower taxes, and push for smaller government.
Law Enforcement has been an intricate part of keeping our communities strong and safe. I support our Law Enforcement to protect our communities and reject the notion of 'De-funding the police'. Our communities are overwhelmingly safer with police than without them. De-funding, dissolving, or drastically reorganizing our police forces Have led to huge increases in crime. People and business communities are now hostages as crime has increased significantly. High crime has contributed to a considerable loss of jobs. As businesses have packed up and left, people have moved to other states. I will work so first responders have the support and tools to keep our communities safe while peacefully protecting the right to assemble. Our first responders deserve our support and respect. They are and have protected us. Now it's time for us to protect them.
America was considered energy independent on his first day in office; Joe Biden canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline's building. He stopped the drilling on energy-rich federal land; the result was a loss of tens of thousands of jobs, and Gas prices have been increasing since. In the wake of the Russian war with Ukraine, Democrats have credited the continued increases in fuel prices Americans have to pay to the Russian invasion. Rather than re-establishing the once Keystone Project and opening up federal land again for drilling, Biden has sought to purchase oil from other countries, such as Venezuela, to ease the price at the gas pump. Democrats continue to push their Green New Deal, which will only add to the federal debt and contribute to increases in the cost of fuel. Rather than just cutting the switch to fossil fuels, as democrats have done, we need to move to make America once again energy independent. We Need to make our means of production and transport more efficient, as we once did. We do not need to stop investing in clean air technology, but we need to move toward it gradually.
As a Third-generation Hispanic American born in the United States and husband to an immigrant, my family has realized the dream America offers to all who immigrate here. I'm blessed to be married to my wife of 27 years, who came to the United States from Mexico. People worldwide should be able to legally immigrate to our country, become citizens, and achieve the American Dream. Our immigration system is, however, broken and needs to be fixed. My family personally understands the experienced of having to go through the immigration process. The United States immigration process needs to be reformed. However, We need to ensure our borders are adequately protected and those who come to this country without legal documentation are treated fairly and compassionately.
Democrats are pushing for more gun control measures even as I write this. Our Founding Fathers included the 2nd amendment to protect Americans from foreign and domestic enemies. It clearly states A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. As more firearm restrictions are imposed on honest, hard-working Americans, our 2nd amendment rights are further restricted, all in the name of safety. Criminals, however, will disregard gun control restrictions and continue illegal purchases leaving law-abiding people left to fend for themselves in a system becoming ever more closed off. Crime rates have risen caused of the de-fund police movement; honest people are finding they are much less safe and secure in their own homes. As people seek to arm themselves for protection, they are now finding obstacles that may prevent them. I will fight to oppose gun restrictions that protect the American People
We have Politicians that have been in office for more than 30+ years. Do these politicians represent the people of their communities? Politics today seems more like how long I can maintain my position and how I can advance my place up the line. Many people think of politicians as someone who may say anything to stay in office. Many Americans feel there are two sets of standards. Some politicians may have a $25 pint of ice cream in the freezer as many people struggle to put food on the table. Questions come to mind do these politicians genuinely represent the people of their communities? Do we need a change from the past leadership? We cannot stay stuck in a never-ending fight over what you have versus what I have cycled in Washington. Washington needs to be held accountable with Term Limits, any possible inside trading, and for conflicts of interest that may happen. I will work for and support legislation that looks to enact term limits for all politicians.[2] |
