Michael Pons completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Pons' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- It appears that our current Congressman, Barry Loudermilk is engaged in supporting the Biden Administration. He regularly supports democrat bills. Loudermilk voted for $40 billion dollars for the never ending war in Ukraine and the inflationary Fiscal Responsibility Act which provides unlimited debt and spending until Jan. 2025 bypassing the 2024 election year. This was a surrender bill that essentially handed the purse strings of power to the Democratic Party and the Administrative State.
- The #1 priority of government is to protect it’s citizens. This is warfare through invasion. Today drug and human trafficking cartels are controlling our southern border. Over 10 million people, from over 100 countries have crossed the southern border since 2021, nearly doubling the amount of illegals in this country. CBP are now the processing agents for anyone crossing the border who claims asylum. The migrants get a court date to appear seven years later. Migrant families get $4,000/month, free medical care and their kids get a free education. At the same time Americans on Social Security get less than $3,000/month and our veterans are sleeping in the streets. Why fund the Biden Administration that puts you in the back of the line?
- We must return to the rule of law and rid ourselves of the two tier system of justice. The FBI conducted the largest manhunt in American history with the round up of J6 protesters denying them their First amendment rights. Right here in Georgia, Fulton County DA Fani Willis has falsely accused 19 defendants including Donald Trump with a creative interpretation of the RICO statutes. The Justice Department labeled parents domestic terrorists because they are concerned with the unhealthy communist brain washing techniques of SEL, CRT that teach gender confusion, racism and drag queen story hour. I will fight to deconstruct the unelected 4th branch of government, the bureaucratic Administrative State.
Keep America safe and secure the border. Maintain a strong National defense and end wokism in the military.
Reduce the size and power of the 4th branch of government that dominates every aspect of our lives.
Restore the American Dream by restoring Constitutional Republican principals that gave us Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness, religious, economic and political freedoms.
