Jerry Torres

Jerry grew up in a military family during which his father was reassigned to several US Air Force bases from New York to Washington state, Florida, and three locations in between. He worked throughout his elementary, junior high, and high school years to supplement his family's income, working as a construction laborer and framer, garbageman, dishwasher, and newspaper delivery boy, and bucked hay bales on ranches and dug worms to sell to fishermen.

We must now protect our nation’s borders against illegal immigration for our personal safety, and for the safety of our family, friends, schools, neighborhoods, and communities. We must enforce immigration law and make certain that all immigrants enter our nation legally, just as the 50 million legal immigrants did who now call the United States of America their home.

In short, our schools in Northern Virginia are not protecting our students, placing too much emphasis on an indoctrination agenda, and not genuinely meaningful schoolwork such as math, science, language comprehension, technology, health, social studies, and more. Bullying, CRT, and gender indoctrination are only serving to divide, confuse, and cause mistrust between students of different races, religions, ethnicities, cultures, and communities, and the complex combinations thereof, who share the same learning environment day-by-day for two-thirds of 12 years.

One of my first priorities is to reverse the increase in all crime and return our homes to the time when personal and community safety was certain and our neighborhoods were among the safest in our country. We will achieve low crime through community outreach and policing, comprehensive training focused on cultural and neighborhood awareness, and by elevating the prosperity of all, so we reduce anxiety, fear, and frustration over high prices that prevent our ability to achieve our dreams and reach our aspirations.

My priority is to rapidly greatly decrease high prices and high interest rates and increase the purchasing power of our dollar. The most practical and efficient way to rapidly achieve economic and financial growth, stability, and prosperity is to increase our energy production; the oil and natural gas that powers our nation. We will achieve this responsibly and in a manner that protects nature and our environment, land, water, air, wildlife, and plant life alike.

One of my priorities in Congress will be to increase pay for federal employees that equals the pay of our community’s private sector employees so we retain the best public servants that serve our taxpayers. Our federal employees need reassurance that we appreciate their service to our nation, and they need the breathing room to grow and prosper.

The United States has among the highest regulated business environments compared to all other Western nations, and the number of regulations affecting start-ups and small and medium-sized businesses increased exponentially in 2024.

One of my top priorities will be to ensure that our nation takes positive steps to protect our environment and to reverse the damage done to every aspect of our Earth. I will help create and lead energy programs that will result in the creation and expansion of clean energy infrastructures that are feasible, realistic, and certain. I will work to help fund and transition workers from current fossil-based employment to advanced alternative energy employment so they may live with confidence that their future is certain and our planet is protected.

One of Jerry’s top priorities is to deliver to Veterans what has been taken away by our government and Congress and given to illegal immigrants and non-working healthy American citizens. We will re-engineer and transform the Veterans Administration (VA) to streamline the delivery of benefits and services owed to our Veterans at VA support and health center locations. I will ensure that our Law Enforcement and First Response Professionals have continuous Federal Government support after their days serving our Northern Virginia communities. I will make certain that those professionals who were injured, wounded or who suffer from illness from their times serving our communities have resources to live in safety and comfort.
