Did not answer
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Practicing Catholic my entire life.
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?
Somewhat Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I believe in small government, the free enterprise and individual liberty.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
I believe removing unnecessary regulations will allow more people to open businesses, thus creating more jobs. I also believe in lowering the corporate tax rate, so large companies remain in their territory. For example, Pennsylvania has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the country. Recently, pharmaceutical company Teva announced it will be leaving PA for New Jersey, taking over 800 jobs with them. We need to ensure that we aren’t taxing coroporations to the point where they leave. Make no mistake, I am not saying we don’t regulate big business. What I am saying is, there are too many regulations which cause burden on many companies, which ultimately slows job growth. As State Representative, I will work with both small and large businesses as well as State legesilators to help create a better job environment.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Healthcare in the United States is something everyone should have access to. I think one of the big problems we have, is we are trapped in a system which doesn’t encourage competition. We should be able to purchase health insurance across state lines, which would lower costs, increase competition and provide more options for consumers.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
The government can play a consistent role in boosting the economy in a variety of ways. First, we need to understand the different components which contribute to our economy . We have to encourage business growth, fund our education system for future generations, balance our budget and tap into our natural resources. These are just some of the things the government can utilize to our advantage.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I am a graduate of La Salle Univereity with a degree in Business Administration and Communications. After graduation, I worked in Marketing and consulting in South America for both profit and non-profit organizations. I think one of the many problems we have today, Is career politicians are always putting their party, special interest groups or themselves, before the people. I may not have a law degree or own a big business, but I spent 4 summers in high school volunteering in inner city Philadelphia, working with the less fortunate. I am not running to earn a title, or make a name for myself. As an immigrant, I am running to give back to the communities whicjnhave given so much opportunity to me. When people ask “what experience do you have as opposed to your opponent?” I respond by saying “experience only matters when you’ve actually done something for the community”. I will work hard on behalf of all people, serving the community, not special interests.
E-mail address and phone number for voters to reach you:
Chmundiath@gmail.com
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I would like voters to know I want to be State Representative to give back to my community, and tackle the challenges we face together. This isn’t about me, or an election. It’s about serving the people and briniging change. It’s not about Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative. I would like to be a public servant, working with everyone to better our community and restore prosperity to our state. Let’s lower taxes, build better schools for our kids, tackle the opioid epidemic and change the culture in Harrisburg. I cannot do it alone; I need your help to win.
