Campaign website
Erbst's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Platform Border Security: Bob believes America deserves a secure border which eliminates Human Trafficking and Fentanyl importation. He also supports the need for common sense immigration policy that rewards people who follow our laws, coupled with a refugee policy that safely expands our citizenry.
Bob believes that Americans deserve policies that enrich America through good paying energy sector careers thereby assisting friendly nations in supplying energy to America and avoiding dependence on Russia and OPEC. He believes we must continue improving our Green Energy technology and continue to strive to manufacture wind and solar technology here in the USA.
Bob believes that parents deserve an education policy that stresses rigor in the classroom. He believes education is a team sport, and that schools should focus on education that meets the needs of the students and the community. He also believes we must reward, attract, and retain good teachers who are the backbone of education. Furthermore, we must respect these educators and work to eliminate the restraints that unions and school districts place upon them.
Bob believes that the Government's main job is the protection of ALL its citizens. Consequently, he asserts that police need more tools and training to continue to perform the difficult tasks we demand of them.
Bob believes that the pandemic enlightened and reminded us of how governments of the past have used fear and power to eliminate the rights & freedoms of their citizens. It is his belief that to lose members of the military, police, firefighters, and teachers due to mandates only weakens America.
Bob Erbst believes it’s time to stand up for and protect our God given Constitutional rights.[2] |
