Campaign website
Piantidosi’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Working for Parental Rights Parents’ rights and choices must be preserved and respected in our schools, courts, and medical system. We will stand united against all abusers and predatory forces that threaten our children. We will fight for the preservation of our Constitutional rights and ensure traditional family values and religious beliefs are protected. Working for Fiscal Responsibility We must reduce the national debt and stop loading future debt on our children. Irresponsible and unrestrained government spending causes inflation and raises taxes. It makes life a struggle for working Americans by raising the costs of everyday living. It increases unemployment, local crime rates, opioid use and homelessness. Working for Affordable Housing We need a major increase in affordable housing for seniors, veterans, young families and our homeless citizens. We will encourage the conversion of large, unused municipal properties and first-time home ownership of repairable vacant salvageable homes, and limiting regulations that stifle development. Working for Maine's Environment We must preserve and protect Maine’s lobster, fishing, farming and lumber industries while promoting Maine’s extremely valuable tourism. New, safe, bondable energy sources will help stop the highly toxic solar farms and the unsafe inefficient windmills that kill our whales, marine life and coastal birds. We must protect the grandeur of the Gulf of Maine by opposing the proposed 3.5 million acres of floating windmills that will certainly impact or end our fishing and tourism industries. Government Transparency We must stop all congressional insider trading by publicly prosecuting, convicting and punishing anyone who sells or trades political access or insider information for their personal, political or family gain. Strict standards of behavior and consistent, transparent enforcement are essential. National Security We live in very unstable times as our foes continue to express their willingness to assert dominance against the United States and her allies. A position of strength is held with a steadfast hand. We must not capitulate to any global opposition. Wisely, we ought to closely monitor all activities regionally and globally, in order to effectively protect our sovereignty, and preserve our interests both domestically and abroad. We must wholeheartedly support our troops and defend our physical borders.[3] |
