    Candidate Background Information

    Prior political or campaign experience: N/A


    Top Campaign Issues: Coastal Restoration is my top issue because it is
    the highest direct threat for my district. However I support common
    sense solutions on many other issues which can all be seen on the issues
    page on my campaign website. These issues include a common sense
    approach for immigration and border security.


    Education, Awards & Honors:
    Graduated from the University Of New Orleans with a B.S. in Computer
    Science. Currently seeking my masters in Computer Science.

    Received the UNOMACSS fellowship from the National Science Foundation
    for 3 years during Graduate School.



    District Information

    Please give a brief description of your district: It is composed of
    Washington, St. Tammany, and Tangipahoa parishes. It also includes parts
    of Orleans, Jefferson, and St Charles Parish.


    Percentage of Democrat, Republican, and Unaffiliated Voters: Plurality
    of Democrat voters. However, they are conservative and usually vote for
    a Republican unless the Democrat is conservative enough. I believe that
    I have the right message that can sway the voters. In the last
    governor's race, 33.4% of the district voted for the Democrat candidate.
    I believe I can convince another 17% to vote for me because of the
    issues I support.

    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) On my issues page,
    http://www.votefordan.net/issues.html , I state "Allowing people to
    circumvent our immigration policy is a big risk to our security. There
    are better ways to allow good honest workers from other countries to
    work and live in our country without risking our safety. "


    What do you feel your opponent's stance on illegal immigration or
    immigration reform is or would be?
    My main opponent is Bobby Jindal. I have not heard or seen him discuss
    illegal aliens. However, he has never spoken out against any policy of
    the President and I fear that he would be a follower in Congress and not
    a leader. I fear that he will put party politics above the needs of
    American citizens just because the President wants to allow amnesty for
    illegal aliens.

    Have you been endorsed by or received contributions from any other
    immigration reform or illegal immigration reduction groups at this time?
    No, though I would be open to receiving endorsements or contributions
    from any group that would encourage common sense when dealing with our
    borders.


    Would you openly accept an endorsement and or contribution from ALIPAC?
    Yes. I am not going to play partisan politics if I am elected to
    Congress. No matter whom the President is, or what the makeup of
    Congress is, I will fight any effort to ease restrictions on illegal
    immigrants. Your organization would benefit from having me in office and
    our country benefits when we use common sense in determining who gets to
    cross our borders.
