I'm running for Congress because the Radical Left and the RINO's in Washington turned their backs on the America-First Agenda. I've fought in the Florida Legislature for our conservative values and now we need strong conservative fighters like Donald J. Trump in Washington who will always put America First. That's who I am and what I will continue to be. Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? Complete and total shutdown of the border until it is secure. Stop Biden's weaponization of the government and the administrative state. Enact term limits on every elected official. What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? The rule of law, stopping corruption, fighting for our Constitutionally guaranteed rights. Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why? Thomas Jefferson Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy? The Constitution of the United States and the King James Bible. What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder? The knowledge and experience I gained as a Florida State Legislator. What legacy would you like to leave? To make America stronger so my daughter and all of the generations that follow will enjoy the same liberties and opportunities I’ve had in my life. What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time? America was attacked on 9-11 when I was 12. It taught me that our country and the ideals we espouse are hated by evil forces around the world. What was your very first job? How long did you have it? I waited tables for two years when I was in high school. What is your favorite book? Why? “Notes on the State of Virginia” by Thomas Jefferson What was the last song that got stuck in your head? Star Spangled Banner What is something that has been a struggle in your life? Dealing with radical anti-American democrats who hate our country. What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution? Congress is corrupt. We must vote out the career politicians and bring in new leaders. That’s why I’m running What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? The invasion at the southern border. Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives? Yes but with term limits. What are your thoughts on term limits? I'm a strong proponent of term limits. In fact, I signed a pledge to limit Federal lawmakers to three House terms and two Senate terms. Seventy-five year-old Dan Webster, the incumbent for the past 14 years, is a poster boy for the need for term limits. Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after? Jesse Helms Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful? I've met with families whose loved ones were killed by illegal aliens. Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking? No. The GOP compromises too much. The Democrats never do. It's time to fight harder -- not compromise. The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected? I’ll work to cut spending and lower taxes. How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers? Subpoena and investigate the corrupt Biden Administration What committees interest you? Judiciary and Armed Services What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability? I believe in one-hundred percent visibility and accountability.\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.

The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Sabatini's responses.\nExpand all | Collapse all\nWho are you? Tell us about yourself. I'm an America-First Republican and a veteran. I serve as a member of the Florida House of Representatives, representing District 32 in central Florida. I’ve been a strong ally to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has signed into law five of my legislative bills. I’ve filed and sponsored legislation on a variety of issues, such as legislation to crack down on Big-Tech censorship, mandate the use of E-Verify, make Florida a Second-Amendment Sanctuary, tighten election laws, eliminate corporate welfare, prohibit mandatory vaccines during COVID-19, and to prohibit transgender surgeries on children. As an attorney, I fought the emergency orders of Florida’s local governments through numerous legal battles during COVID-19. I serve as a captain in the Florida Army National Guard. I received my B.A. and J.D. from the University of Florida. We need Republicans who will fight the Radical Democrats and win. I'm running for Congress to make America more like Florida. Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? Build the wall. End illegal immigration. Protect families against the trans agenda and the anti-American Critical Race Theory. Drain the Swamp and restore freedom to the American people. What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? My legislative priorities are: Crack down on Big-Tech censorship. Prevent election fraud. End illegal immigration. Protect the Second Amendment. Ban transgender surgeries on children. Create term limits for EVERY politician. Protect the lives of the unborn. Fight radical woke corporations Build and maintain a strong military. Treat veterans with dignity and respect. Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy? “The Death of the West” by Patrick J. Buchanan What legacy would you like to leave? A stronger America with less government, more freedom. What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time? The impeachment of President Bill Clinton. I was ten years old. What is your favorite book? Why? “The Closing of the American Mind” by Allan Bloom It had an important influence on me in college and helped me understand the problem of cultural relativism and leftism in America today. What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? Our greatest challenge is standing up against the Swamp, corrupt bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci, and Woke Elites who want to take away our freedom and control every aspect of our lives. Giving freedom back to the people will be a key issue in preserving self-government for our Republic. What are your thoughts on term limits? Term limiting every elected official is one of my most urgent priorities. Term limits are the single best mechanism we the people have to drain the Swamp and to hold the lawless federal government accountable. I was the first candidate in the FL-7 race to sign the U.S. Term Limits pledge to support an amendment to term limit Congress. Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after? The representatives I’m most similar to are Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs, Thomas Massey and Paul Gosar.\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.
