Issues
Campaign themes
2012
Faircloth's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]
- Economy
- Excerpt: "Our government should work like a business. Overtaxing prevents growth. Limiting business means limiting jobs. I want to encourage small business and bring relief from over regulation. Minimizing frivolous lawsuits to bring relief to business in Texas."
- Education
- Excerpt: "I believe that with each child there comes a unique set of educational needs. The same exact formula or type of education is not fitting for all. Public education is a demanding and challenging part of our Texas economy. I support teachers everywhere."
- Immigration
- Excerpt: "I believe that Texas is a most desirable place to want to live and work. What we need to do, however, is secure our borders. Immigration should include proving that you are not a burden to your new country."
