Scott Mandel completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Mandel's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|- I am conservative, bring 33 years of successful business and federal experience to the job. I am the only candidate that is very knowledgeable about the border crisis and federal issues.
- Since the 1940’s we have built fences on the US/Mexico border. 84 years later we have about 700 miles of fence, have improved technology and manpower, spent billions yet we still are not able to control illegal immigration, legal migrations, and drug trafficking. I will introduce legislation to close the border, overhaul immigration, the visa program and place a temporary limit on legal immigration based on our capabilities and needs.
- We continue to spend money we do not have. The US is in debt to the tune of 34 trillion dollars. I will introduce legislation that would require every federal agency receiving federal dollars to complete a detailed questionnaire justifying their role, responsibilities and their costs to Congress and the American people.
Immigration
A movie I would recommend is Lincoln.
Keep promises, do good, preserve life,
Propose, vote and enact laws and policies for the greater good of their district, state and country.
