Campaign themes
2016
Emory's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Balance budget
- Excerpt: "We must continue to operate within our means. Over the last few years, Georgia has operated with a balanced budget, all the while continuing to grow our reserves, and maintain a AAA bond rating."
Pro business
- Excerpt: "Limiting the burden of taxes on businesses frees up capital for investments to then reinvest and thus grow, creating jobs."
Limit government
- Excerpt: "We need less government, not more. Governmental involvement is not always the answer. How many times in the past, once the government has gotten involved, has it resulted in disappointment?"
Georgia's education
- Excerpt: "I believe parents should have the choice to choose which school their child attends, and tax credits for those whom wish to seek private schools."
Protecting our rights and values as citizens
- Excerpt: "I believe in the Second Amendment, and will fight not to allow the efforts of others to demise our rights as citizens: such as the right to bear arms. I believe in protecting all children, including the unborn, and stand by my conviction."
