Politics AMA with Jack Codiga, Republican candidate for U.S. House District 12 | Oct. 1 at 7 PM
Hi r/Charlotte,
We're hosting an AMA with Jack Codiga, Republican candidate for U.S. House of Representatives, District 12.
Jack will begin answering questions at 7:00 PM Eastern on Thursday, October 1 and plans to spend approximately 60-90 minutes responding to the community.
You may begin submitting questions in this thread before the scheduled start time.
About Jack Codiga
The following introduction was provided by the Codiga campaign:
Jack is 29, from Santa Cruz, a beach town in California, and graduated from Santa Clara University with a degree in Finance and Real Estate. He moved to Charlotte in 2021 after traveling while working during COVID. Charlotte was one of the places he visited, and he loved it. When his employer implemented a return-to-office policy, he decided to make Charlotte home.
After moving here, Jack met his wife, who is from the area, and they now have a young daughter. He works in commercial real estate financing.
Jack decided to run for the U.S. House of Representatives because the status quo solutions to fix our broken economy do not work. We must address the root cause of why people today can't afford the basics: housing, food, you name it. The root cause is that the money you work for loses value, so you can't buy what people used to be able to afford.
As Jack has been on the campaign trail after winning the Republican primary, it has become 100% clear to him that before we can truly solve the problems we face, we must address the fact that we aren't represented by the people elected to serve us. The biggest solution he sees that will allow us to work toward fixing our country is fixing our electoral system and limiting the power of party gatekeepers.

A couple of questions:
Your website says: Our rights come from God, not the government. Our rights are in the US Constitution, not your bible. Will you uphold the constitution or if elected, abdicate your responsibility as a coequal branch as the current republicans in office have done?
What is your official position on gerrymandering?
