The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Weinroth's responses.\nExpand all | Collapse all\nWho are you? Tell us about yourself. Two years ago, I endorsed the incumbent for Congress in the hopes he would be a conservative voice to bring the Democratic Party away from the hard-core Socialist anti-Semitic left. Sadly, he’s failed. It has been made clear to me that no one who dares challenge the failed progressive ideology dominating today’s Democratic Party will be taken seriously. I was a longtime conservative Democrat who, as Boca Raton Councilman and Palm Beach County Commissioner and Mayor, cut taxes and resisted wokeness.” Now, I am running for Congress to stop the radical Democrats whom the incumbent refuses to confront. I “walked away” from a Democratic Party that has veered off course. I bring to my public service a broad background as an executive and general counsel in insurance, finance and health care industries. I understand the pressures of running a company, making payroll and paying vendors without the luxury of “printing money” to make ends meet. My public service has included being elected chair of the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency where he made reducing traffic congestion a top priority and chair of the Palm Tran Service Board where he championed a vibrant public transportation system.. In Congress, I will employ my experience in business, law and government to be an effective voice for taxpayers and our conservative values against woke Democrats hopelessly tied to a radical “squad” of extremists who hate America. 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? As a CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRAT Palm Beach County Mayor and Commissioner, I was able to reduce tax rates, block outrageous COVID mandates and stand strong with our police against crime while delivering essential services for taxpayers. Unfortunately, there’s no room in the Democratic Party for someone like me who wants to fight for taxpayers and working families. That’s why I walked away from the Democratic Party and am proudly running for Congress as a REPUBLICAN. Broward and Palm Beach counties need a fighter in Congress who will defend our values, fight for freedom and always put taxpayer first. That’s why I want to be your Member of Congress! TAXES: As a member of Congress I will vote to extend and expand the Trump tax cuts when they expire next year, because more tax cuts mean more jobs. \r\n\r\n JARED MOSKOWITZ OPPOSES THE TRUMP TAX CUTS AND WILL STOP THEM IF HE AND DEMOCRATS GET CONTROL OF CONGRESS!\r\n \r\nWOMEN’S RIGHTS: I support federal legislation stopping those receiving federal aid from permitting men to participate in women’s sports or use facilities reserved for women. \r\n\r\nJARED MOSKOWITZ SUPPORTS MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS AND BELIEVES MINORS SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET SEX CHANGE OPERATIONS! ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: We must reverse the Administration’s Open Borders policies, Build The Wall, Defund Sanctuary Cities and end Birthright Citizenship. \r\n\r\nJARED MOSKOWITZ OPPOSES THE BORDER WALL AND ENDORSES THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S OPEN BORDERS AGENDA!\r\n \r\nNATIONAL DEFENSE: Rebuild our military by demanding that additional funds come with mandates to eliminate the woke mandates that have weakened our military. \r\n\r\nJARED MOSKOWITZ SUPPORTS BIDEN’S WEAKENING OF OUR MILITARY! \r\n\r\nCRIME: It’s time Congress used the power of the purse to slash funding to leftist cities that let criminals roam free and or serve as illegal alien sanctuaries. \r\n\r\nJARED MOSKOWITZ IS SILENT WHILE CRIME IS EXPLODING IN LEFTIST BLUE CITIES, AND CRIMINALS ARE CODDLED. What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? FOREIGN POLICY: It’s time to advance American interests, not European interests. It’s time to stand up to China and stand up for Israel, our only true friend in the world. JARED MOSKOWITZ SENT TENS OF BILLIONS TO UKRAINE WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY WHILE CAUCUSING WITH ANTI-SEMITES LIKE AOC, RASHIDA TALIB AND IHLAN OMAR! What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official? Honesty; transparency; intelligence; business acumen. A life experience against which proposed actions are measured. What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder? As a successful businessman - both in corporate America and, later, as a small business owner, I understand the importance of managing a balance sheet and maintaining profitability. These are qualities are elected representatives need to understand. Payroll hinged on having cash in the bank. Our salaries were paid last to ensure our employees were paid. What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office? To reflect the needs and desires of constituents while maintaining a world view of contemplated actions. What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time? The assassination of JFK is indelibly imprinted in my memory. We were sitting in our 6th grade classroom when the principal made the announcement. I remember seeing the teachers crying and being a bit confused by what had occurred. When I got home, my mother was watching the TV where, for the next few days, we never strayed. Walter Cronkite was the voice of the American people as we watched the events unfold (including the onscreen assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald. I vividly remember Jackie and her children watching as the president was laid to rest in Arlington cemetery. What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution? 435 divergent views and interests combined with a body subject to election every two years allowing expedient changes in the elective body as voter preferences shift. Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics? Absolutely. My experience at the municipal and county level (combined with a successful record of business accomplishments) provides a strong foundation for service as a Member of Congress. What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? Protecting our borders is of paramount importance. Education of our children to enable them to assume their place of leadership. Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives? Yes - this ensures the body reflects the values and concerns of our constituents. What are your thoughts on term limits? Term limits should be implemented. Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after? Eric Cantor was a model representative. His intellectual capabilities and unwavering support for the State of Israel will be a guide to my service. 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 hear over and over how disconnected they feel from their legislative representatives. In my pubic service, I have maintained an open door policy and facilitated the resolution of constituent issues. Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking? Collaboration and compromise are the hallmarks of a deliberative process but one cannot compromise on principles. 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? We need to return to an orderly process for review and evaluation of proposed budgets. We cannot continue to spend beyond our means. The state, county and municipal governments must operate with a balanced budget. The printing of money has created an unsustainable economic situation. The interest payments on our $34 trillion debt is squeezing out our ability to fund necessary programs. How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers? The Members of Congress should explore all issues impacting the efficient and transparent execution of our federal bureaucracy. What committees interest you? Ways & Means; Foreign Affairs; and Judiciary What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability? Absolutely imperative.\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public.
