Campaign themes

2016

Cotton's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Jobs

  • Excerpt: "Rural American jobs are disappearing at an alarming rate. Barry is committed to bringing jobs back to the 74th District."

Education

  • Excerpt: "Our schools have become a place to be tested, instead of a place to learn. Legislators in Washington D.C. should not be dictating to us how to teach our students here in Tennessee."

Healthcare

  • Excerpt: "TENNCARE is supposed to work for the people, especially for this country's "Greatest Generation". However, for the last several years our elder generation has found it more difficult and more expensive to get the care they desperately need. Barry knows the healthcare industry and he knows what it will take to ensure that Tennesseans receive that care!"

Veterans

  • Excerpt: "Once in office, he vows to fight for funding desperately needed to improve the State's role in taking care of Tennessee's veterans."

Drugs

  • Excerpt: "Abuse of prescription drugs has become an epidemic in our communities. ... Barry will work to ensure that they are part of the solution."
