2010 Election Guide: Joel Demos, Republican

How will you address the national budget deficit?

Demos’ website did not list any specific information on how to address national debt, but said: “At $13 trillion, we cannot continue to borrow from future generations and be beholden to foreign nations who are financing our debt. Until we see a change of leadership

and a change in spending priorities, our nation is on track for financial collapse.”

How would you work with members of the other party to reduce the gridlock in Congress?

No information.

Would you support a second stimulus bill?

No information.

What should federal immigration reform look like?

No information.

The Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy was recently overturned by a federal judge. Do you agree with the ruling, and what would you do for gay rights on the national level?

No information.

Do you support the health care legislation passed last session, and should there be further federal action on health care?

The recently enacted health care legislation only addresses access and leaves cost and quality problems unsolved, according to Demos’ website. Demos wants to work with Congress to “develop sensible solutions to make health care affordable without increasing federal spending and the burden on hard-working Minnesotans.”

Do you support cap and trade legislation?

No information.

Do you agree with the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision? Why or why not?
