Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Feigenbaum's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Immigration: you can't have a country unless it has safe and secure borders; we need to employ every means possible to stop illegal entry into the United States.
  • Budget and Taxes: we need a balanced budget; just like an individual, a government can't keep spending more than it takes in
  • Defense: our military should be the strongest among all nations; peace through strength, the only reasonable option to defend our way of life and defeat those who seek to do us harm.
  • Foreign and Trade Policies: support countries which support us; foreign governments seeking our help must share financial and military obligations; "free trade" is not necessarily "fair trade"; we must end trade policies which send our factories and jobs overseas; those policies have caused a disintegration of the economic and moral fabric of our society.
  • Second Amendment: this fundamental constitutional right must be protected.

2014

Feigenbaum's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[6]

In District 100 we are a diverse community with many points of view. Everybody’s voice counts. It doesn’t matter whether you identify with a political party or consider yourself an independent. Most of us agree on basic issues, like ensuring we have a beautiful and safe place to live and work, raise our families, and enjoy life. Wherever there is room for improvement, I shall work with you, our local officials, and my colleagues in Tallahassee to try and find fair, cost efficient, and prompt solutions.[5]
