Ballotpedia survey responses

Vincent Gallo completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Gallo's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.

|I am a father, a husband, and grandfather.
- The United States and Texas are in danger of failing. We are suffering the consequences of weak and incompetent leadership. Our Southern Border is wide open and unenforced, our elections systems are subject to fraud, and our children and adult members of society are subject to radical indoctrination agendas that have infected our boardrooms, classrooms and courtrooms.
Our educational systems are burdened by overcrowding and severe discipline problems in many locations. Social justice has become the educational goal instead of critical thinking and our children are being poorly served. Too many elected officials are concerned with maintaining power and not at all with solving problems.
- Voters have an opportunity and a responsibility to elect competent and committed problem solvers. We can no longer vote for someone on personality or popularity. Policy should drive the vote, and leftist policies don't solve anything. That is why I call myself a conservative. If you want your country or state to look like San Francisco or Chicago, vote for progressives/Democrats/Marxists. There is no discernable difference between them. If you want a safe, sovereign, and prosperous country, your only choice are conservatives who will insist on following the constitution. Notice I did not say Republican. We have a whole cadre of Texas House Republicans who don't follow the constitution and don't know what sovereign means.
- The government in this country is out of control. The people we elect have decided in too many instances that we exist for their benefit. They are arrogant, entitled, and openly hostile toward anyone they see as challenging their authority. They believe they have the right to use law enforcement and the courts to destroy their political opponents. Tyrants never self-correct. The constitution provides for remedies to our current state, but those remedies are only as good as the people willing to use them. If the federal government will not adhere to the constitution, the states must take control of those responsibilities. The people have the power, and it is time to exercise it.
The realities of autism and how it has affected my son.
There will be enormous pressure on the educational systems in Texas and they are not performing particularly well now. Housing affordability and infrastructure requirements. Layered over all that is the problem of elected officials that seem to have little to no understanding of the consequences of pushing social justice agendas in place of law and order. Societies fracture over the preaching of victimhood.
Texans. There are plenty of other states to live in, if you want to live in a Democrat controlled state, go live in California or New York.
Texas. This bill would also include multiple penalties for commerce, support and facilitation of illegal immigration. I would like to explore the legal potential of passing legislation the holds federal elected officials criminally responsible for not enforcing federal statutes that result in the death or injury of the citizens of the State.

|- Government spending is completely out of control. The US Dollar is being devalued and our Nations's financial security is at risk.
- Our borders and our national sovereignty are being destroyed. No nation can sustain unlimited illegal immigration, including the USA.
- Federal bureaucracies have become hostile toward conservative patriots. The power and authority of the US Government is being applied in a biased and politically motivated manner. It is imperative that the institutions that are charged with enforcing the laws of the USA enforce them equally across all aspects of society.

Campaign website
Gallo's campaign website stated the following:
“ |
VINCE'S PLATFORM Pro Second Amendment – This the only thing that stands between your freedom and tyrants. Border Security Is National Security – The U. S. military should be deployed to secure our borders. Any politician that refuses to call for this is lying when they tell you they want a secure border. No border, No country, it’s that simple. Pro Life – Babies are people too. They are the most innocent among us and should be protected, not destroyed. People who kill children for the sake of convenience, have no moral compass and are perfectly willing to kill anyone else they label as an inconvenience. Men are men, woman are women – There are two and only two genders. No one should be forced to participate in or support the fantasies of those seeking to redefine reality. Your behavioral choices do not entitle you to force others to accept or advocate for those choices. Public education should be limited to reading , writing, and arithmetic– The indoctrination of our children with leftist anti-American ideas is unacceptable. Stoking racial hatred in schools should result in the loss of an educator’s teaching credentials. Election Integrity is a necessity. Paper ballots and state issued I. D. are the only way to achieve this. Mail in Ballots should be highly restricted and highly scrutinized to insure they are valid. Decouple from China– China is a communist country set on world domination. Our foreign policy should not be designed to empower, enrich, or embolden communist China. They are responsible for unleashing a bioweapon on the global community and have not been held accountable. They have every incentive to do it again. The constitution is the supreme law of the land. Too many people in Washington DC believe they are the supreme rulers of the land. FIRE THEM![4] |
