Tuan TQ Nguyen
Political platform statement
Candidate's Website
Tuan “TQ” Nguyen came to the United States in 1997 and has established residence in the great state of Florida since 2003.
In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, witnessing the poverty and suffering of the Vietnamese people under the communist rule has instilled in him compassion and a sense of justice.
After having managed to flee the Vietnamese communist regime, TQ had the opportunity to live, study and work in several countries. He also had the opportunities to visit all the five continents and hence acquired a broad understanding of different systems of government and state institutions.
Being an engineer by profession and a human rights advocate by vocation, TQ has blended his experiences into a unique skill set that focuses on problem-solving to help those who are the less fortunate such as victims of human rights violations and religious persecutions.
TQ holds a M.Sc. in Global Strategic Communication from Florida Institute of Technology, a M.Sc. in Information Technology Management from Creighton University and a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering from Concordia University.
Besides English, TQ is fluent in French and Vietnamese.
Why I am running
- For more than a decade, America has become increasingly polarized and divisive to the extent that partisan spirit has dominated and affected our daily lives as Americans and resulted in gridlock in Washington and hence an ineffective Congress.
- The absence of the voice of independent voters in Florida, who have been sidelined in primary elections.
- The increasing assertiveness of authoritarian regimes has posed a threat to America’s democracy and its liberal world order, which has guaranteed global stability and development since World War Two.
