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

“	Education: A good education is the best opportunity we can give a person to succeed in life. I am a strong supporter of school choice and empowering parents to make the best decisions for their child’s education. I also think we can go a long way towards strengthening our public school systems by doing a better job of targeting critical resources and grants where needed, making sure teachers have the tools they need to be successful in the classroom, and empowering local school districts to make decisions in the best interest of their students. Criminal Justice: I support reforming unfair sentencing laws that punish some groups or people more than others – for committing the same crime. Additionally, I support the passage and implementation of Tim Scott’s Safer Officers and Safer Citizens bill which would provide money and guidance to ensure that local police departments have and use the latest body-camera technology – ensuring transparency and improving safety for law enforcement and citizens alike. National Security: We are at war with radicalism and terrorism, and I believe we must do everything we can to protect American citizens and interests both at home and across the globe. Greg is a strong believer and follower of the constitution and does not believe the federal government should violate it in the name of national security. Pro-Life: As the father of two young men, I am pro-life and believe that life begins at conception. However, it is not enough to simply go after Planned Parenthood and other reckless abortion providers. We must support the development of family-centered pro-life alternatives to help young and at-risk mothers by providing the support they need to grow the families they deserve. 2nd Amendment: As someone with multiple family members who have served in the military, I fully recognize the importance of our Second Amendment and the sacrifices so many have made to ensure our freedoms. I support the right of all citizens to keep and bear arms.	”
