Short Answer

Has your campaign addressed the topic of illegal immigration in speeches, commercials, ads, or campaign materials? What are those messages? (Please provide sources or examples) We have not addressed it as it is close to a non-issue for residents of this district, who are for the most part impoverished and disadvantaged by their fellow American citizens.


What do you feel your opponent’s stance on illegal immigration or immigration reform is or would be? The incumbent is famous for not having much of a philosophy on any issue.


Have you been endorsed by or received contributions from any other immigration reform or illegal immigration reduction groups at this time? No.


Would you openly accept an endorsement and or contribution from ALIPAC? I do not accept PAC money. I would accept an endorsement, but I rather doubt you’d offer me one as we appear to be on the opposite side of your issues.
