Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in traditional values: faith in God, prayer to God our Savior which has been the foundation of national traditions. Honor, respect for the family, diligent work ethics, absolute values of right and wrong, honesty in business practices, wholesomeness in leadership, respect toward authority, moderation rather than excess, a family which consist of both parents taking responsibility to provide for our own, such as one spouse, family, children, learning how to behave, to have manners, good morals, honest, unselfish generous and considerate of others...learn and pass on the benefits on discipline, hard work and responsibility. Giving day to day good role models of how to be loving and kind to one' spouse encouraging and supportive to our children...these sort of things which can cause marriages to last, families to succeed and which make our nation...strong and free! Keep America Great!

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Our current healthcare system is not working for the average American. I supports the establishment of a market-based healthcare system and health savings accounts (HSA) that would allow Americans to control their own medical care, while having lower premiums and manageable deductibles and co-pays. I believes we must focus on good healthcare before we get sick. Eating more wholesome food, including avoiding processed foods, and encouraging a healthy lifestyle, must be promoted at the national level to bring down the cost of healthcare, now too often delivered on the “back end” after sickness and disease are present. I supports the overhaul of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including efforts to determine whether the regulation of food and drugs may be misdirected or counter-productive to the health of our people.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Our federal government should support free economic markets and encourage new business development and growth through policies advocating lower business taxes and less regulation. I trust the marketplace and disfavors big government control and over-taxation of the inherent power of our capital-based economy. I believes that the federal government should develop a balanced budget every year. Deficit spending must be stopped. Like any business or family budget, we need to look at the “bottom line” and hold our elected representatives to that standard. I supports balanced budget initiatives, including a Constitutional Amendment to require a balanced federal budget. I believes the highways, bridges, and airports of our great nation must be repaired and rebuilt for the safety of those who use them and for the good of our economy. I support smart federal spending for a national infrastructure improvement program to take place over the next 20 years.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I am an attorney, activist, founder of the Joli Law Firm PLLC, a Brickell based boutique firm, exclusively practicing immigration law, and I am one of South Florida’s most successful immigration attorneys. I advocate for my client’s interests before the Immigration Court with my indefatigable professional savvy and dynamic heart. I was born in the Dominican Republic, immigrated legally to the United States and found my American Dream as a U.S. Citizen and advocate. I am a wife, mother, attorney and friend. A true innovator and change agent, I created Fashion Night on Brickell, an annual fundraising event that generates charitable contributions to support legal services for those faced with critical legal problems who cannot afford to hire a lawyer. With my spirit of philanthropy, local Miami-Dade County legal services providers have been able to continue advocating for vulnerable clients such as women and children victimized by a wide range of societal ills including domestic violence

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
In this campaign I am asking you to start a revolution against the status quo and elect someone who affiliates with no organized political party, and who will be directly responsive to you, the voter. I will not be swayed by any party platform packed with special interest issues and paid for by lobbyist influence. I ask you to cast your vote NPA (non party affiliate) to change the way you are represented. South Florida is uniquely positioned in this 2018 Congressional race to create a spark of hope for real change that will ignite a movement across the country. As South Florida goes, so shall go the nation! Rise with me and let's take our government back! We can lead the revolution! Star the spark and light the true fire of change. End the dominance of the establishment political parties. Vote NPA. Vote Mayra Joli.
