LAURA LOOMER
BIO
Age:
29 
City/town of residence: Lady Lake, Florida
Family: I have never been married and I do not have children. I have two dogs, one of which is a rescue who was rescued from a dog meat market in China. 
Education: I have a Bachelors degree in Broadcast Journalism and Political Science from Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida. I was the President of the College Republicans at Barry University, and I was Valedictorian of my class. 
Qualifications: I have worked as an investigative journalist, exposing political fraud and corruption for 10 years. For four of those years, I worked as an undercover investigator for a conservative media company called Project Veritas. I am a small business owner as the founder of Illoominate Media, a world- renowned investigative journalism, conservative media, and political research company. 

What are the key differences between you and your opponents?
I’m an America First Republican Candidate for US Congress, & I’m primarying RINO incumbent Daniel Webster. Webster is a career politician who has been in office for 40 years. I support term limits, my opponent doe not. 

As the 7th most ABSENT member of Congress, Webster skipped the vote on the 2nd impeachment of Donald Trump, he skipped the vote on the January 6th commission, and he does not believe the 2020 election was stolen. I KNOW the election was stolen, and I am working hard to combat voter fraud and restore election integrity.

I am anti-war, and I am fiscally conservative. My opponent is in favor of funding proxy wars, and & he recently voted to send $40 Billion of tax payer money to Ukraine during an economic crisis & record high inflation. As we watch our country, our freedoms, and our Constitution get destroyed by the radical left and spineless RINOS who don’t fight back, we cannot afford to send absentee Congressmen back to Washington. 

Put simply, my opponent is a Do-nothing, obstructionist RINO career politician. In contrast, I’m a FIGHTER, and I will fight to protect and uphold the United States Constitution, I will fight for America, and it would be my greatest honor to represent the people of District 11 who deserve a Congresswoman who actually shows up for work and FIGHTS. 

What are the values and morals that have guided your life, and how will use them as District 11 representative?
As an investigative journalist, I am focused on seeking out the truth, and I am justice oriented. I built my career around holding people accountable, and exposing people to the truth. As a proud American and Constitutional Conservative America First Republican, I am focused on getting elected to Congress where I will legislate constitutionally in the best interest of my constituents, as well as the American people. I am relentless, and I am known for being aggressive in my pursuit of the truth, and I never back down from a fight. I will FIGHT for what is truthful, just, and morally right when I am in Congress. 

Describe the state of our nation’s economy and what steps need to be taken to improve it.
The United States economy has been shattered, and the current recession that we are experiencing here in the United States is the result of the Stolen 2020 election and Joe Biden’s disastrous, communist, economic polices, including Bidenflation, stagflation, and billions of dollars in unchecked foreign aid. We need to restore American manufacturing, American energy independence, we need to reopen the Keystone XL Pipeline, and we need to combat all unconstitutional and draconian COVID lockdowns and mandates that destroyed our economy and killed millions of jobs and small businesses. 

As District 11 representative, describe how you will work across the aisle.
I am focused on legislating Constitutionally, and I am willing to work with anyone in Congress who wants to legislate constitutionally. I will not work with or enable any of the communists and communist enabling RINOS in Congress. Instead, I will work to expose them and hold them accountable until they fall in line, or until they are replaced by America First fighters like myself.  

Define “recession.”
Before Joe Biden and his illegitimate administration recently changed the definition of “recession”, it was defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP and negative economic growth. The current recession that we are experiencing here in the United States is the result of the Stolen 2020 election and Joe Biden’s disastrous, communist, economic polices, including Bidenflation, stagflation, and billions of dollars in unchecked foreign aid. 

What is your evaluation of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision. 
I support the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade and return the discussion of abortion back to the state legislatures. I am pro-life, and I support state’s rights on this matter. 

Describe the state of our education system and what steps need to be taken to improve it.
I am in support of DEFUNDING the Department of Education. America’s public school system, as well as our institutions of higher education, are broken, and they have been weaponized by the Left for the sake of spreading CRT, historical revisionism, and anti-American Marxist indoctrination at the expense of the American taxpayer. We need to restore parental rights and protect children from indoctrination and sexual exploitation in the school system. I support Governor DeSantis’s Parental Rights in Education Bill, and I believe it should be a crime for teachers to teach LGBTQ sexual and mental grooming to minors in the public school system. 

What is the cause of division in the United States, and how can we improve it?
The Fake News media, political censorship, and corruption in the uni-party political establishment is the cause of division in the United States. The stolen election of 2020 is also one of the biggest sources of division in the United States, as millions of Americans now feel like their votes do not count, and that their voices have been silenced. When I am elected to the United States Congress in Florida’s 11th district, I will aggressively fight back against the Fake News media, Big Tech tyranny, and the uniparty’s voter fraud machine. 

What is your position on the United States’ involvement in Ukraine?
I do not support fighting a proxy war in Ukraine at the expense of US soldiers, and US taxpayers. I am 100% opposed to sending unchecked financial and military aide to Ukraine, and I am 100% opposed to NATO instigating global conflicts and then asking the US government to pick up the tab while they pay for nothing. My RINO opponent Daniel Webster further burdened the US taxpayers and enabled NATOs recklessness when he selfishly and irresponsibly voted in favor of sending $40 Billion of US taxpayer money to Ukraine in the middle of our own economic crisis, inflation, and stagflation. We need to focus on securing and militarizing our own borders, as opposed to sending billions of dollars overseas to Ukraine, one of the most corrupt countries in the world!
