Campaign Funds Raised (as of most recent reporting cycle): < $5000
This form completed by: Daniel Zimmerman
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.
Issue Information
(Please describe your feelings on the following with a number 1-10 or
with the response "Undecided" (1="Strongly Disagree", 2-4=Disagree,
5=Neutral, 6-9 Agree, 10=Strongly Agree)
Reducing illegal immigration should be a top priority for America?
(1-10) 9
Reducing illegal immigration is important to the voters of my district?
(1-10) 8
Illegal Immigrants should be deported when detected in the interior of
the US? (1-10) 10
Illegal Immigration is a threat to our national security? (1-10) 10
Illegal Immigration is unfair to those that obey the law and legally
immigrate? (1-10) 10
Illegal Immigrants should be allowed to receive driver licenses? (1-10)
1
Illegal Immigrants should be allowed to attend state sponsored
universities at in state tuition rates? (1-10) 1
Illegal Immigrants currently in the US Should be granted amnesty or
enrolled in a "Guest worker program"? (1-10) 1
Federal and state tax dollars should be spent to provide translators and
bilingual information in government agencies? (1-10) 10 (For
translators to intercept messages that will help our security and
bilingual information to temporarily help legal immigrants as they learn
English)
Penalties provided under current laws should not be enforced on illegal
immigrants? (1-10) 1
State and local law enforcement officers should be allowed to assist in
immigration law enforcement? (1-10) 10
Illegal aliens that return to their home countries should be allowed to
receive social security benefits? (1-10) 1
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.
