Campaign website
Carson's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Pro Life The sanctity of life must be guarded & preserved. Pro Life values extend from conception to natural death . Border Security We must secure our border & maintain National Sovereignty. Americans deserve to be safe in our homeland. Coronavirus A challenging and difficult virus which has brought heartache and suffering to many families here and around the world. With the politicization of the virus and its variants, our nation was brought unnecessarily to economic, social, religious and personal crisis. Religious Freedom Government should not have the power to define or suppress Religious Freedom, as our Constitution guarantees. Must maintain our God given right to embrace and exercise Religious Freedom. Critical Race Theory Critical Race Theory is a modern version of Marxist Critical Theory, whose sole purpose is to brainwash our youth with Marxist ideology. We must put a stop to this type of indoctrination. Economic Recovery It is imperative that we reinstitute the TRUE America First policy. America’s Economic Recovery will foster an environment for Americans to work, enjoy the fruits of their labor, and invigorate their ability to support their families. Energy & Environment Energy independence must once again be attained with the rich and abundant resources available here in America. Retirement Security Retirement Security is not a benefit supplied by Government, but the rightful assets set aside for hardworking Americans to enjoy in later years. Retirement/Social Security must be protected for those who contributed their earned resources. Trade Fair trade is good trade. If it is not good for America, then it is not a win/win proposition. Spending Reform It is imperative that the US Government reign in frivolous spending, earmarks, and unnecessary agencies that add to the ever-growing monstrosity in Washington DC. High Speed Rail Oppose the High Speed Rail which will negatively impact property owners in its path from Houston to Dallas. Eminent Domain should not be used to take possession of Texan's properties to initiate the HS Rail. Our Taxes Lower taxes are critical to American prosperity. High taxes cripple economies and families.[4] |
