Q&A: Dan McQueen

How will you work to facilitate higher education to high school graduates, particularly those in financial need?

Dan McQueen, Republican candidate for U.S. representative for District 35. Courtesy

The current state of America regarding education and economic growth are tied together. We have failed to elevate both the education path and the collaboration in building new industries across our country. I have indicated that we need to advance Jr. Engineering programs as I have with the Jr. Air Force One Engineering, and focus on actual industry growth in education to allow it to become the profit direction for America again. We need to have all higher level education locations transferable for degree programs and include the education from our military and classified programs. Current silo of education institutions has cost students time and money in working toward a degree. In addition, school choice and advanced degree training for students in high school needs to be standardized at all locations. We have seen the impact of online learning and this needs to be expanded into future state to allow for a faster path for degree and entry into more complex technological industries that will produce actual nation GDP (Gross National Product) growth.

What will you do to improve employment opportunities for college graduates? 

Current stagnation is related to the government’s inability to forecast national and international direction in commerce. We have learned and a trend analysis will show that the car, train, aircraft, highway systems, rail systems and transportation in general have been the biggest impact in jobs and economic growth in America. I have been in aerospace all my career. I focus on the advance direction of Personal Air Transportation. This will be the industry that is between automotive highway travel and airline travel. A delta between 50 mph and 500 mph is not being addressed and will directly impact congested highways and gridlock in locations like San Antonio and Austin. This will provide an across-the-board increase in economic growth and provide the higher level jobs for the educated class, in addition to secondary and tertiary jobs of service and support for the population. Think Big and we can Live Large. In addition the advancement of an IT collaboration will help streamline online business for mom and pop brick and mortar locations. 

If elected, what new initiatives will you bring to the district?

I look forward to many directional changes in helping start business from the border to all major cities. Create an arterial supply movement to nations south of Mexico, advance imagration processes at the border with a commercialization zone for security and cultural adaptation, grow in technological business, expanding research beyond space travel and personal aerial transportation. Please understand I am a combat veteran. Master’s in computer information systems; 45 years of aerospace and engineering; and focus on uplifting our society.
