In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am Jen Bucardo and like you, I am proud to be an American. I was born in California, but I was raised in North Carolina since I was 9 years old. In North Carolina we teach our children about the rights we have as citizens, and we also teach them about the responsibilities that come with those rights.

As an North Carolinian, I learned that we have the responsibility to stand and fight for our Country when we see that our country is being led down the path of self-destruction. As a concerned mother, business woman, and advocate I feel morally obligated to fight for the conservative values we hold dear in North Carolina.

During college, I watched politicians instill fear in our people and bring about chaos in the streets. They created a division within our country and within our people. Unfortunately, our people keep electing candidates whose only purpose is to continue playing politics while instilling fear in our people. Their only concern? To get re-elected.

I don't know about you, but I know that as a mother, I do not want fear to be the driving force of this great nation. I believe that our nation still has the ability to come together and become the greatest nation this world has ever seen. A nation where our people stand together and work towards building a world where we can all live in peace.

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?

My main priority in Congress is to reform the education system in North Carolina. The education system has the ability to end poverty, increase job creation, decrease the per capita spending on health care, and increase the morals and values in our Country. Implementing health education as a core curriculum will teach children about their physical, mental, and emotional health. This will increase the likelihood of children making wise decisions pertaining to their health. In return, society will see a society filled with healthier adults.Choosing to put children up for adoption instead of having an abortion brings our attention to the foster care system; a system everyone tends to disregard. It is needless to say that the foster care system needs to be funded and quality improvement measures need to be implemented. These children have the ability to have a good life; a life worth living. If we don't improve this system, we will continue to see adults with mental health issues, drug abuse issues, and homelessness issues.This country was founded and built by immigrants, but this is a new age and therefore new measures need to be taken. It is important to secure the southern border and implement humane policies that return people back to their country in a swift manner. It is also important to allow the people who are already contributing members of society a more affordable way to become citizens of this amazing Country. ​ The individuals who are already in this country without legal status should be prioritized over refugees. Most of these individuals are family and friends that are already contributing members of society. ​I do believe that chain migration and visa lotteries must come to an end, temporarily. Our focus should be on the individuals wh
