Economic and fiscal
Taxes
- After Virginia state Sen. J. Chapman Petersen (D-Fairfax) introduced bills on January 11, 2016, that would eliminate the state’s “car tax,” Jim Gilmore told the Washington Post that he thinks “the public is very frustrated they have to continue to pay it. It’s not good. We should have just gotten rid of it altogether.” During his race for Virginia governor in 1997, Gilmore ran “on a ‘No Car Tax!’ pledge, but was never entirely successful.”[7]
- On August 6, 2015, Gilmore tweeted:
- In 2015, Gilmore presented a plan for a flat personal income tax with three tax brackets of 10, 15 and 25 percent. He claimed the plan was "revenue neutral" and would not necessitate major spending cuts. Gilmore initially developed this plan in 2010. This tax plan would also give poor families a tax credit of $4,300.[8][9]
- Gilmore also expressed support for having a lower corporate tax rate, which he said would help to grow the economy by increasing corporate productivity. In a June 2015 interview, before officially declaring his candidacy, he stated, "I remind everyone the corporate tax rate is 35 percent, the highest in the world. How can you compete internationally when our companies are being taxed like that? It is driving people offshore." Under his proposed tax code, Gilmore would lower business income taxes to 15 percent regardless of entity type.[8]
Banking policy
- In September 2008, Jim Gilmore argued for greater regulation of the banking industry following the financial crisis. "You simply have to have more oversight right now to make sure people understand that they can't operate their businesses that way," said Gilmore.[10]
Government regulations
- Jim Gilmore stated that he supported free market capitalism in a June 2015 interview. He said:[8]
| “ | Demonization of people who are entrepreneurs, demonization of people who run small business, demonization of people who actually try to accumulate wealth, is wrong. That is what drives America and makes people go. And government should get out of the way of that. Now, I'm not in favor of a some big company coming in and buying influence in United States Congress and getting some special break. To the contrary, what I want to see us do is to bind down this corporate rate by eliminating all these special interest things. And by the way, that's going to project a fairer - a fairer - sense of what the modern marketplace is like. ... what we need to do is to create more opportunity for more people to work, and for better wages. What creates better wages? Do you think it's dictation by the United States government? What creates better wages is more jobs and more people having the opportunity to compete for more jobs. That's what raises it. This person is an excellent person. They got a good education. They work hard. They have good ethics. They're going to command a higher salary because people want them to go to work for them. This is what does it. More jobs competing for the workforce is what raises wages. But that's natural. That's the free market system. And we need to stand for the free market system in this country. The free market system is under assault in the United States. It needs to be stood up for by somebody, and I want to be that person.[11] | ” |

- In the same June 2015 interview, Gilmore advocated for a policy of transparency to prevent crony capitalism and government corruption.[8]
Budget
- As governor of Virginia from 1998-2002, Jim Gilmore pursued cutting the Virginia car tax. The estimates for the cost of the tax cut were around $620 million a year, but the costs ultimately were about twice that much, causing legislation to pass in 2002 that stopped the tax refund at 70 percent.[12][13]
- At the end of Gilmore's term as governor of Virginia in 2002, there was a state budget deficit. In August 2015, Gilmore said that this was due to the term limit on governors in Virginia, and that if he had been able to serve a second term, there would have been enough time to negotiate and correct the shortfall. Although he has been criticized for his combined pursuit of tax cuts and education funding, and some blame the budget deficit on his policies in these areas, he said, in a July 2015 interview, that his intention was to boost the economy and "deliver value to working people - a real tax cut."[12][13]
Foreign affairs
Iran nuclear deal
- During the seventh Republican presidential primary debate on January 28, 2016, Jim Gilmore discussed the Iran nuclear deal: “You know, Martha, it may be out of the barn in that the Iranians may be moving towards a nuclear program, because this nuclear deal actually gives them a time frame up the road when they are going to be able to do that kind of program. And that's very dangerous because it means people in the Middle East have to begin to react to that right now. The United States, I think, has to continue to exercise its influence in the Middle East, stay active, and not do this pull-back type of program that we are seeing all over the place with President Obama, which is creating this kind of danger. The world is a more dangerous place now than when I was an intelligence agent. We have not only this international guerrilla war but also these challenges from these other countries as well.”[14]
- Along with Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, Gilmore appeared at a rally against the Iran nuclear deal on September 9, 2015. He said, “The deal does not create peace, it only postpones war. Now President Obama says we have no choice. Well if we have no choice, it’s because he’s negotiated us into a no choice position. America is never in a no choice position.”[15]
- On August 18, 2015, Gilmore mentioned in an MSNBC appearance that if it were not possible to invalidate the Iran nuclear deal, he would form a Middle East NATO to ensure "collective security within the middle east in order to provide some protection and stability under American leadership."[16]
- Gilmore spoke out against the Iran deal in a Fox News interview on July 30, 2015. When asked what he thought of the nuclear deal, he answered: "It does not do what needs to be done. I think the president has worked us now into a position where we either negotiate or we go to war. That's not healthy. As president I would try to undo this agreement." He went on to state that the United States' stance in foreign affairs lacked strength.[17]
- On April 2, 2015, Gilmore wrote a piece for the Washington Times calling for transparency and congressional oversight of any deal with Iran. Among other things, he wrote, "President Obama has agreed to a basic framework of a deal with Iran that is supposed to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons. What details it may contain we don’t yet know, and the president is apparently determined to see that neither we nor Congress will. That is unacceptable to the American people because the agreement will have a significant effect on America’s national security and that of our Middle Eastern allies."[18]
Military preparedness and budget
- In a speech before the Sunshine Summit in Orlando, Fla. on November 14, 2015, Jim Gilmore said he would “take the lid off the defense budget...to restore America’s military strength.” Discussing national security and the Iran nuclear deal, Gilmore added, “Our president has failed. Weakness is provocative. And Paris is only the beginning.”[19]
- In a November 7, 2015, interview with the Washington Examiner, Gilmore, an Army veteran, said that he is the best candidate for veterans because of his experience serving the country. He said, "The fact that I have actually been in uniform, stationed overseas. I'm one of the two veterans in the race ... I have empathy and understanding of veterans that I think other candidates — there's no reason for them to have it. I have actual experience. And from a managerial standpoint, we have to get things done. We have to understand that we have to make it a priority." Gilmore also said that as president he would reform the Veterans Affairs Department and address post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide by putting qualified people in the many psychology positions in the VA that are vacant.[20]
- In July 2015, Gilmore expressed support for expanding the budget of the United States military and building up military strength. In an interview with Fox News, he stated, "we have to take the sequester off the defense budget." He continued, saying, "We have to build up the United States military. Do you know that the Navy isn't even planning to send a carrier later on this fall into the Persian Gulf because they don't think that they have enough ships and ability? The United States army is reduced by 40,000 troops. The marine corps doesn't have the combat brigades that it needs. And the political message is one of withdrawal, pulling back, decline. And potential adversaries see this and they understand it. We have to begin to reverse that to get America back on track again."[17]
- In the same July 2015 interview, Gilmore stressed that he thought the military should be built up for peace, not just war. He advocated for "peace through strength on the Reagan model."[17]
National Security
- In a June 2015 television interview, Jim Gilmore said:[21]
| “ | We have to address the national security crisis. If you really look at it, the United States is being challenged in every way by the Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians. This worldwide guerrilla war we are facing with the terrorism type of challenges. The country is not prepared to deal with these problems. We have to build up the american military establishment. We have to once again project to the world that we are not only going to lead, but we are capable of performing that leadership.[11] | ” |
- In June 2015, when asked how prepared the United States was for a domestic terrorist attack, Gilmore answered, "We are better prepared for the domestic terrorism threat, but not totally prepared. My five-year commission that Congress asked me to chair I think demonstrated what needed to be done. We warned that a conventional attack was likely."[21]
- Gilmore chaired the U.S. Congressional Advisory Panel to Assess Domestic Response Capabilities Involving Terrorism and Weapons of Mass Destruction from 1999-2003. A national panel established by Congress, this organization was sometimes known as the "Gilmore Commission" and existed for the purpose of assessing government capability and readiness to respond to terrorist attacks at all levels of government. The commission issued warnings in both 1999 and 2000 that America could be susceptible to terrorist attack. After the attacks on September 11, 2001, 146 out of 164 of the commission's recommendations were adopted.[5]
- During the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, Gilmore was the governor of Virginia. He issued a statement at 12 p.m. on September 11, 2001, in which he outlined the safety measures Virginia's government was taking:[22]

ISIS and terrorism
- During a December 15, 2015, interview with PJ Media.com, Jim Gilmore said that he would not declare war on ISIS because that would legitimize their claim that they are a state, rather than a “gang of terrorists.” He said, “I do believe in declarations of war but I am not willing to say that ISIS is a state, and usually declarations of war are against a state. You don’t declare war against an international guerrilla movement. We should not give them the credit of being a state. They’re an intentional gang of terrorists terrorizing people through force of arms, creating acts of barbarity, burning people up in cages, enslaving women, cutting people’s heads off, this is not a civilized nation within the modern day.”[23]
- In his speech before the Sunshine Summit in Florida on November 14, 2015, Gilmore said he would "take the lid off the defense budget...to restore America’s military strength." Discussing national security and the Iran nuclear deal, Gilmore added, "Our president has failed. Weakness is provocative. And Paris is only the beginning."[24]
Domestic
Federalism
First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
- During his term as governor of Virginia, Jim Gilmore signed a law that mandated a moment of silence at the beginning of the school day in Virginia public schools. The law was challenged in court by the American Civil Liberties Union, and the case, Brown v. Gilmore, ultimately went to a federal appeals court. A panel from the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 opinion that upheld the law, saying that it did not violate the First Amendment by promoting religion since students were not required to pray or meditate, and they could pursue another silent activity or reflection during the assigned minute.[25][26]
Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
- After President Barack Obama issued his executive actions to curb gun violence, Jim Gilmore said on January 5, 2016, "The president is suggesting he can rule by decree. That's not right. If the Congress doesn't act, that doesn't mean he has the right to act."[27]
- Gilmore wrote an op-ed in The Daily Caller on August 26, 2015, stating his commitment to protecting “the individual right to keep and bear arms by every American who has not forfeited that right by criminal conviction or other action.” He argued that gun violence “perpetrated by the mentally ill and dangerous … isn’t going to be solved by gun control and background checks.” Instead, Gilmore said, the "real" underlying issues need to be addressed, such as "the need for easier involuntary commitment of the dangerous mentally ill, the dangers brought about by Obama’s open borders policy and surer appropriate punishment of criminals.” [28]
- In a June 2015 interview, Gilmore expressed his opposition to gun control:
| “ | I'm against gun control. I always have been. I believe in the Second Amendment. But, it's because of the underlying point, which is the belief in individual responsibility for one's conduct. I believe Americans have the right to keep and bear arms. ... I am convinced that the founders intended to empower the individual by giving them the right to keep and bear arms. ... Millions... of Americans own firearms. They don't break the law. I am a rule of law guy. I believe that we set down standards of conduct in the country, and to try to prevent people from doing anything bad by sequestering people or taking away their vehicles, guns, or something like that, is not a belief, the American belief, in the responsibility of the individual American.[11] | ” |
He added that he supports background checks on individuals who want to own guns and thinks requiring one is an effective and "suitable" measure. He also mentioned the need to make sure the mentally ill do not have access to weapons.[8]
Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
- Jim Gilmore said in a June 2015 interview that although he was initially opposed to the Patriot Act, he did see some merit in it later on because of the need for national security:
| “ | I certainly didn't like the Patriot Act when it was first offered, because at the time of that somewhat almost overreactive type of period after 9/11, I was really very concerned that our civil freedoms might be impinged upon. And in fact, if you look back at the official reports of the Gilmore Commission, you will find that my introductory letters express that nervousness. But... over the years, I have come to believe that we are in an international crisis. And we are in a warfare situation with the terrorists. And much more seriously, we are in a very serious confrontation with other nation states -- the Chinese, the Russians and the Iranians -- and we must take it seriously. We must address it. We have to find a way to make sure we maintain our civil freedoms and privacies. But we simply cannot undo the national security establishment of this country. We have to protect Americans and American interests. And that has to be what we are about as we go forward.[11] | ” |
He went on to mention that he was still concerned about a "lack of oversight" and would want to make sure that proper oversight from Congress and the courts was implemented moving forward.[21]
Crime and justice
- During his term as governor of Virginia, Jim Gilmore vetoed a bill that proposed creating a first-time offender status for underage drinkers. The proposal would have enabled judges and law officials to treat violators under 21 differently from other offenders if it was their first offense of purchase or possession. Law at the time required that the offender's driver's license be revoked. In his veto, Gilmore wrote, "Going easy on these young offenders will not help them learn from their mistakes, and will not help protect the innocent whose lives may be endangered by these persons' irresponsible actions and their flouting of Virginia's laws."[29]
- Gilmore has suggested being more lenient regarding the death penalty. While he was governor, lawmakers approved a bill that made the murder of a minor a capital offense. This essentially meant that the death penalty would apply in any case where a legal adult willfully murdered someone under the age of 18. Gilmore proposed amending the law to apply the death penalty only when the offender was 21 years or older and the victim was younger than 14 years old.[29]
Natural resources
Climate change
- During a June 2015 interview, Jim Gilmore said, "I would want to go back, and I would look at this group of scientists and say, 'do they have an axe to grind?' and make sure that they're objective, and make sure that they're not shifting over into the political ideas that are so driving things right now. We actually have to make sure that sound science is observed and followed and believed by both parties."[8]
- After being asked whether or not he was convinced climate change was man-made during the same June 2015 interview, Gilmore responded, "I would like for it to be shown that is it man-made. And if it is, then at that point, we have to address how we deal with it. But, I will say this. The president has made a deal with the Chinese saying they don't have to obey any environmental regulations and we do. Now, that's not good, because they are a long-term either partner or adversary of both of those things. If they're liberated to simply dirty their country while we have to adhere to regulations here then you're going to see an international imbalance, which is danger to the international security of the people of the United States."[8]
- In a voter guide for his 2008 Senate bid against Sen. Mark Warner, (D) Gilmore maintained a similar position, stating, "We know the climate is changing, but we do not know for sure how much is caused by man and how much is part of a natural cycle change, I do believe we must work toward reducing emissions without damaging our fragile economy.”[30]
Keystone XL Pipeline
- Jim Gilmore has expressed support for the Keystone XL pipeline. In a June 2015 television interview, Gilmore stated, "The Keystone pipeline should be developed."[8]
Energy production
- Jim Gilmore has advocated for fuel production of both oil and natural gas, and he has expressed his opposition to the Kyoto Protocol.[30][8]
- Gilmore has supported energy production independence for the United States. In June 2015, he said, "We have suffered under the influence of the Arabian cartels for too long. When I was a soldier in Germany, I was there during the Arab oil embargo and it was a tremendous blow on, in Europe and the quality of life there. We have an opportunity now. We have developed the technology where we can actually be not only energy independent, but energy authoritative. And we should develop that." During the same interview, he also stated, "We should have oil independence."[8]
Fracking
- Jim Gilmore has expressed support for fracking. In June 2015, Gilmore stated, "Fracking should not be discouraged. It should be encouraged."[8]
Environmental protection
- In June 2015, Jim Gilmore stated, "I'm not in favor of dirty air or dirty water and when I was the governor I was very friendly to the environmental community. But, at the end of the day we need to make sure that the Environmental Protection Agency is not putting on regulations that are nutty, which then end up discouraging growth and opportunity in this country. There has to be the right balance. I think we're not in the right balance now."[8]
Healthcare
- Jim Gilmore opposed Obamacare in a June 2015 interview. He said:[8]
| “ | If I were president I would seek to eliminate that approach. I'm not against healthcare, but I would not be in favor of the Obamacare state-type of approach. I believe we were doing better when we liberated businesses to offer these kinds of programs through the private sector. The business of insurance was to, in fact, try to find the best quality product to make people as healthy as possible. There were some people who did not have that opportunity. And frankly, if you have a lousy economy we do not always get those benefits. And then you do have ... Medicaid to take care of those situations. But I believe that a free market based economy where people have an incentive to offer a better healthcare product or a better premium is the right way we should be going.[8][11] | ” |
- In the same June 2015 interview, Gilmore said that he supported children being able to stay on their parents' insurance for longer and the Obamacare approach to pre-existing conditions. He said these select provisions were "very beneficial" and that the approach "would in the free market economy adjust itself in the premium appropriately."[8]
Immigration
| Jim Gilmore opposes Trump's immigration position on Fox News on August 19, 2015 |
- Appearing at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s conference on October 7, 2015, Jim Gilmore contrasted his immigration platform with Donald Trump’s. “I disapprove of Trump’s policy and I stand for the Constitution. I believe the Constitution says that if you’re born in this country, you’re an American citizen,” Gilmore said of birthright citizenship. Speaking of undocumented immigrants, he added, “The Gilmore policy is that they are not going to be shipped out and deported. We have to recognize that America’s heritage of offering hope, freedom and security to people from throughout the world is a key element of our national pride and the foundation of our economic success.”[31]
- Gilmore appeared on Fox News on August 19, 2015, to support the constitutional right of birthright citizenship. Gilmore said, “The guarantees of the Amendment XIV, United States Constitution are emphatic. They were put into the Constitution to make sure that African Americans were not denied their civil rights under the Constitution. And likewise, I think to begin to talk about a government beginning to pick and choose who gets to have citizenship and who doesn’t, what disfavored class of people might not be granted citizenship, is wrong. It’s dangerous.” [32]
- In that same August 2015 interview, Gilmore expressed that he did not support deporting all illegal aliens in the country, but he also did not support giving them amnesty. His plan would allow them to continue to work in the country but would not supply a path to citizenship.[32]
- Gilmore also tweeted several times about his support for the Fourteenth Amendment, including this tweet from August 18, 2015:
Education
- During August 2000, in a Republican National Convention speech in Philadelphia, Jim Gilmore said, "Republicans have always held close to their hearts the principle of individual liberty. We cherish the right to determine our own destiny rather than have government determine it for us. No other issue is more important to upholding that principle than education. And no other Party exceeds the commitment of this Party to quality in education. Education is THE Republican issue for the 21st Century!"[33]
- Gilmore voiced opposition to Common Core and said that he supported local control of education, according to Forbes. His opposition centered around his opinion that one single curriculum is not necessarily the best fit for every state. He also questioned what federal entity would be able to appropriately act in the capacity of a national school board.[34]
- When he served as governor of Virginia, Gilmore brought on 4,000 additional public school teachers after pledging to do so.[34]
- Gilmore supported federal involvement in higher education during his term as governor, saying that he thought leadership and cooperation with governors would help solve problems with student debt, the increase in administrators and lack of oversight.[34]
Abortion
- In a 2007 article, Jim Gilmore was quoted as opposing abortion after eight weeks of gestation. He said, "After that period of time I think there should be no further abortions - because I think the child has emerged - except to save the life of the mother and situations of extremes."[35]
- Gilmore has been quoted as saying Roe v. Wade was "wrongly decided." He has worked in the past to put restrictions on abortions and has said he is personally opposed to abortion, but has not supported making abortion completely illegal in the United States.[35]
- In 2001, Gilmore supported legislation that required a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion was permitted. The legislation also required doctors to obtain written consent from women obtaining an abortion, and to inform women about health risks and the gestational age of the fetus. He wrote, "When it comes to the most difficult decision a woman must make, whether or not to have an abortion, I believe she should be fully informed about the medical implications of that decision and have an opportunity to reflect on that information." Gilmore signed the legislation into law in 2001.[36][37]
- In 1998, Gilmore supported and signed legislation into law that made partial birth abortion illegal. Under the law, performing a partial birth abortion was punishable as a class 1 misdemeanor.[38]
Civil liberties
- Jim Gilmore expressed opposition to the legalization of marijuana in a June 2015 television interview. He said, "I am not a legalization guy. ... I understand that some people are able to use marijuana in a recreational way, and it probably doesn't hurt society, but at the end of the day I don't believe we ought to be legalizing and putting the legitimacy of the state onto substance abuse."[8]
- Gilmore opposed taking Hugh Finn, a man who suffered severe brain damage in 1995, off of artificial hydration and feeding tubes. Finn's wife wanted to remove these supports, but many members of the family disagreed, resulting in a dispute. Gilmore became involved in 1998 in the official capacity of governor, when he filed a bill of complaint with the nursing home where Finn received care. Gilmore ultimately sought a permanent injunction to prohibit the removal of sources of hydration and nutrition. He maintained that removal of the artificial nutrition and hydration would "initiate a process of dying which will cause Hugh Finn to die from starvation and/or dehydration." The permanent injunction was denied, and Finn's artificial hydration and feeding tubes were removed.[39]
Race and ethnicity
- When Jim Gilmore was attorney general of Virginia, there were a number of attacks on African American churches across the South. In a June 2015 interview, Gilmore commented on those occurrences:[21]
| “ | I thought it really impinged upon people in a very dramatic way. I called all the attorney generals into Washington. Democrats and Republicans, we all joined together, and we made a strong statement saying that arson attacks on African American churches would not be tolerated. And it stopped. And that's the kind of national leadership that we need out of the White House at this point - to really talk about what this society is like, the really serious challenges we're facing of people being unemployed and not having real career opportunities. And that has a direct impact on the national security of this country, which is today in jeopardy.[21][11] | ” |
Urban policy
- In October 2015, Jim Gilmore attended the New Hampshire Housing Summit, where he said housing could become more affordable by growing the economy, increasing employment opportunities and raising incomes.[40]
- In an interview with The Virginian-Pilot in May 2014, Gilmore said a "conservative approach" should be taken to make urban areas stronger. "The classic approach to the cities has been to raise taxes to provide services. That's not the most effective way to address these concerns. The higher you raise taxes, the more people flee urban areas," Gilmore said.[41]
- On his 2008 presidential campaign website, Gilmore said he would require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to issue regular reports to him on the state of property rights in the U.S.[42]
- In an interview conducted during his 2008 U.S. Senate campaign, Gilmore said he would rely on the proceeds of the gas tax and royalties from offshore drilling to fund public transportation projects in Virginia. He said, "We have to find new sources of revenue to help fund transportation projects in the future. Today we use revenue from the gasoline tax to fund many of our transportation projects. That source of revenue is already beginning to be reduced because people are driving less. And, that trend will continue in the future as more Americans will be driving more efficient vehicles and using even more public transportation. I believe we should use the royalties Virginia will receive from offshore oil production as an additional source of transportation funding. I also believe we have to make a greater use of toll roads, HOT lanes and public-private partnerships as a means of helping pay for transportation projects."[43]
Rural policy
- In an interview with The Washington Examiner in November 2015, Jim Gilmore emphasized the importance of recruiting psychologists to provide mental health services to veterans in rural areas.[44]
