Issues
Campaign themes
2012
Boyer's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]
- Budget
- Excerpt: "Tax revenues follow economic growth, not higher tax rates. Therefore, the quickest way to encourage economic growth is to make our tax code competitive, lessen regulations and make the cost of doing business as low and predictable as possible for our business owners."
- Education
- Excerpt: "I wholeheartedly believe in school choice whether it is public or private. Each student’s needs and interests are unique. Parents deserve the right to choose the best education for their children that helps the student to thrive academically."
- Life
- Excerpt: " I am strongly pro life."
- Protecting Marriage
- Excerpt: " I believe that marriage is the union between one man and one woman and government has an interest in promoting this union."
- Border Security
- Excerpt: "Our border must be secured. As a state, we are limited in what role we can play in border security, however, we must do all we can to ensure that we do not incentivize those who are here illegally and protect those who are here legally."
