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?
Erik started from the bottom, but now he’s here! His parents migrated to America in 1980. His father was a foster child and was a janitor and yellow cab driver at first to put meat on the table. His mother was a housewife who tried to raise 5 children, Erik being the first born. English was not easy for his family to learn, but they did it and persevered. Erik understands what it is like to be a minority trying to make it in this country and will fight to make American Citizenship available to everyone while keeping the American Dream alive for our current citizens! Nobody cuts the line!Erik is a self-employed small business owner for his entire life. He knows what 99% of us go through and understands exactly what needs to be done, to fix it! Erik believes nepotism has infiltrated the job market for far too long! Erik believes it should be more about what you know, rather than who you know. Erik wants to introduce new laws that will help American Citizens and college grads to get priority in job placement opportunities.Erik thinks the IRS is unfair and immoral! 50 of America’s biggest companies paid no federal income tax last year! This cannot continue to happen while the lower and middle class pick up the burden while struggling to pay their bills. Erik knows what it is like! He has been a victim to the unfair practices of the IRS and supports abolishing income tax all together for single filer’s or families making less than $150,000 per year. Erik believes big corporations should never be allowed to pay nothing while small business owners get scrutinized and forced into never-ending debt!
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
Ending conservative censorship by big tech and breaking up the corrupt left-wing liberal media monopoly by holding fake news accountable, not only for what they say but for what they do. Changing defamation laws from 2-year statute of limitations to at least 4 years. Creating after school programs for inner and outer city youth. Curbing Antisemitism and any bias and discrimination of any kind. Restoring the legendary Jackson House African American hotel in downtown Tampa and make it a museum. Curbing the crime in Ybor City and drive out reckless nightclubs and strip clubs from tourist hot spots. Supporting President Trump and fellow Florida Republicans on their mission and agenda to Make America and Tampa Bay great again!
