John Sauers completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Sauers' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|- Securing the border is my main priority. I will achieve this by supporting H.R.2 - Secure the Border Act of 2023. In addition, I will advocate for the Remain in Mexico policy to become a law. Lastly, I will champion to hold those in Homeland Security accountable for taking part in human trafficking.
- I will take every effort to lower your taxes in every way I can. I work as a tax accountant; I know firsthand how horrible peoples’ taxes have been over the last few years. Every year, our taxes are getting worse along with the awful gas, food, and housing prices. The government has been taking more and more of our money to what end? The majority of our taxes are not going back into the country to help us, so allow me to work to help lower your cost from taxes by pushing for more deductions and making it easier than ever to file your returns.
- Our economy’s inflation rate is out of control. To fix this major issue, I will advocate to cut down the budget deficit from a whopping $1.7 trillion to zero dollars, if not a budget surplus. We can achieve this goal by eliminating unnecessary and irrelevant bloat spending to nations across the world, resuming drilling again in America, and bringing back manufacturing to both the United States and New Jersey.
