Campaign website
Bonaventura's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
EDUCATION The Federal Government has incrementally been implementing steps to dominate and control our children's education, coax their ideologies and moral compass with Critical Race Theory, and provide politically motivated course structures and programs. "No Child Left Behind" and "Common Core." have been a disaster; and rather than help our children, big-government policies have started taking their toll. The Department of Education was founded with the hope to gain an edge on the Soviet Union after Sputnik. The solution was never to centralize education into one location. Ironically the Soviet Union developed the same concept a few steps further, and we saw the results of their test on manipulating the diversity of free ideas. No matter the good intention of government, the natural law of corruption will end up enveloping all virtue, power will be gathered, and despotism will ensue. The Department of Education needs to be reigned into a supportive/statistical role, similar to the Office of Education in 1868. We will remove the feds from our schools and allow our local and state governments (the closest voice to the people) the discerning liberty to educate how they see fit. GUN RIGHTS Four Words: Shall Not Be Infringed. Congress has no place regulating -what should be our State prerogative. Let each state decide what, if any, restrictions should be implemented. BORDER SECURITY The crisis at our southern border is only getting worse. In 2021 we witnessed a 15 year high of enforcement encounters, and the current administration is showing no signs of fixing the problem. We need to finish the wall in the most vulnerable areas, increase funding to our Border Control Agents, and work with local law enforcement to develop solutions. Over 250,000 unauthorized Citizens are living here in Nevada, ranking us one of the highest per capita in the entire United States. Continuing to ignore the border crisis will have long-lasting effects on the future of our nation and must be addressed, the wall must be finished. There needs to be a meaningful discussion on revising the policy of naturalization; enabling anyone with a dream for citizenship the opportunity to join our great Commonwealth. NATIONAL SECURITY Like a majority of Americans, ensuring that our military has the funding and capacity to maintain superiority throughout the world remains a top priority. Nevada has a long history with being the hub for multiple military assets to our nation. Bases include: Hawthorne Army Depot Base, Creech Air Force Base, Nellis Air Force Base, and Naval Air Station Fallon. We will continue to work with the executive department and military leaders to ensure our serving men & women receive resources they need to protect the homeland, and defend our allies from bad actors around the globe. COVID-19 No Mask Mandates, No Vaccine Mandates, regulations should be left to state discretion. NEVADA LANDS Nevada is ranked number one in the United States for federal land ownership. Over 81 percent of our great state is owned and controlled by the feds. In 1864 the Thirty-eighth Congress passed the enabling act, which was signed by President Lincoln on March 21. As part of the requirements of statehood, the Federal government imposed restrictions known as ,"the ordinance". This included: the abolition of slavery, guaranteeing freedom of religion, and disclaiming all right and title to the unappropriated public lands within the future State. Nevada is 157 years old, and it is now time to reclaim our State. We will not continue to have other States in the Union control how we dispose of, utilize, and enjoy our lands. National security, national parks and monuments, and protecting endangered wildlife have all been deemed necessary. However disregarding these "necessary" lands, we are left with 68% (over 48,000,000 acres) of potential land to be placed under state control. We are currently seeing a housing crisis, land prices skyrocketing, increasing homelessness on the streets, and the stifling of economic progress. Let us reap the rewards of our land; it is the birthright of all Nevadans. Let us begin a new era of developing our State for posterity. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY Recent spending in the last 10 years has grown out of control. Our representatives have used "curbing the sting of COVID-19" to exponentially increase spending to push forward the welfare state. Economic prosperity cannot be reached by printing money, devaluing our currency, or increasing government hand outs. We must draw back impractical policy; reduce taxes & burdensome regulation, and leave Local and State governments to implement fiscal policy tailored to the people they represent. SOCIAL WELFARE The welfare state must be minimized and new policy enacted to curb abuse and promote economic freedom, not dependency. ELECTION INTEGRITY The Federal government should have very limited involvement in the election processes, as the voting processes should be left to the state. However, in the 21st century, some policies deserve further investigation. Just as airlines must be inspected and deemed safe to fly, our voting systems should be put under similar scrutiny. As cybercrime rises, and hostile Nations continue to attack us from abroad; the possibility for exploitation of these systems is at an all-time high. Election system hardware and software should be certified and inspected, and their software needs to be thoroughly examined for vulnerabilities to attack. Additionally, election data should be barred from being sent out of the country to foreign servers, until after the vote is certified in all states. The integrity of our vote is the life of our Republic, and all Americans should know that it has been free & fair. [1] |
