Issues
Campaign themes
Sutton's website highlights the following campaign themes:[1]
Pro-Life
- Excerpt:"I am pro-life unconditionally. My core belief is that society exists for the sole purpose of protecting the unprotected and any law that legitimizes the killing of a person harms, yes the person killed, but the entire society."
Pro-Gun Rights
- Excerpt:"Gun ownership is a right guaranteed by our Constitution, and I am a big fan of our Constitution."
Education
- Excerpt:"Public policy should support parental choice. Consequently, base state aid for each pupil should follow the child, regardless of the school chosen by the parents as best for the child."
