Ballotpedia survey responses

Esala Wueschner completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Wueschner's responses.
| Collapse all
- 1: Texas Senate's involvement into the Jeffery Epstein and the Zionist Regime. Texans are having a hard time living the American dream we were promised by our Public educational system and by our elders. What was the point of “The Alamo” only for Texas to be hijacked by a foreign nation who stole our highly enriched uranium and attacked our great U.S Navy, The USS Liberty. We need to properly audit Voter Fraud from the 2020-2024 Texas Election cycle and hold wrongdoers responsible for Treason defined in the U.S.Constitution and Title 18, Section 2381. Texan’s need to know who they are truly voting for in order to Restore The Texas dream!
- 2: Stop Censorship - Protect free speech from big tech and political elites The Technology companies are not to be Trusted by the Texas Senate if the Tech companies such as X, Meta, Google, and others are breaking ethical and moral laws that are in violation of the Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934. These same Tech companies are making it very difficult for honest competition of Young Tech entrepreneurs from rising to success in a fair Texas Market. I will ban the Texas Senate from using these Tech companies' products and open up pathways to alternative Texas based Tech service providers for Texas Senate functions.
- 3: Restore faith in All Spiritual Values and end the Devil's take over of the Church. Texas youth are forgetting the meaning of “Family” due to the High Divorce rate. We are losing our faith in a higher power due to all the violence and ignorance we are radically being exposed to. It is becoming harder to raise children without constantly being fearful of what they might be exposed to which would lead them to an unhappy life as they get older. The major reason for the high crime rate is due to the corruptions in our Faith organizations.
