Jose Engell completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Engell's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I’m fighting for working class Americans, I want to look out for their rights, that they’re always treated fairly and paid fairly. I’m not running to serve corporations, I’m running to hold them accountable. I support workers and unions.
- I want to fight for universal healthcare, medicare for all, however you want to call it. We’re the only first world country without it and it’s ridiculous, no one should go bankrupt because of medical bills nor should be afraid of going to the hospital. It’s time that we raise our standards of living.
- I also want to fight for paid maternity leave, we’re the only first world country without it and it would help encourage people to have children by reducing financial stress. And also, make sure that we protect social security that our senior citizens, like my grandpa, rely on to live.
