Joe Strada completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Strada's responses.
| Collapse all
- IMMIGRATION: Florida has the most dedicated and well-trained law enforcement officers in the nation, and we must ensure they have the resources needed to continue cracking down on the devastating impact illegal immigration has on public safety, our economy and infrastructure. For four years the Biden administration left our borders wide open allowing dangerous criminals and illegals into our country and as a result Americans were raped, murdered and victims of crimes in their own neighborhoods. Resources were drained and the American people were second class citizens in their own country. President Trump closed the border, removed dangerous criminals from our country and put the American people first.
- GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY: President Trump has exposed the fraud, waste and abuse buried deep in the federal government, and we must continue to root out bureaucrats and policies that enrich greedy politicians and fraudulent NGOs. NO ONE SHOULD GET RICH IN PUBLIC OFFICE.
- ADDRESSING THE SKILLED WORKER SHORTAGE: 94% of U.S. contractors report labor shortages, driving wages higher. Faced with shortages of our own, I have developed a successful training program that helped our company grow and create opportunities for countless families.
President Trump has exposed the fraud, waste and abuse buried deep in the federal government, and we must continue to root out bureaucrats and policies that enrich greedy politicians and fraudulent NGOs. NO ONE SHOULD GET RICH IN PUBLIC OFFICE.
