Campaign website

Clark’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Herein rests the bulk of my desire and dedication to election to the US House of Representatives. 1. All of the greatness of our home is threatened by a Federal Government that has become too far-reaching in its relentless lust for control. The Federal government has driven the National debt beyond 22 trillion dollars—that is the most glaring and perhaps only example required to grasp that the Federal Government has lost all understanding of the need for national fiscal responsibility. 2. I desire a better representation for the men and women who have served our country. It is a travesty to abandon those who have given so much, even their very lives, in the service of our country. I have been a member of our Armed Forces. I grew up in a military family. I understand the men and women of our country and refuse to allow them to be forgotten. Talking alone will not help, action must be taken on their behalf. My desire for being elected to the US House of Representatives is to be a voice for greater support of the Veterans of the country. I have dealt personally with the inattentiveness of the Veterans Administration.The Veterans Administration has many admirable people in its ranks, so it is unjust to issue a blanket statement that it is completely bad. There are, however, gaping areas of the VA that need repair. That is of primary significance to me in my pursuit of this elected position. 3. Business has become more costly and less profitable for owners and employees in large measure because of bureaucratic intervention. Bureaucracy and regulation must be scaled back for the endurance of freedom and liberty. Are laws necessary? Of course they are, but excess of regulation does not create the efficiencies that the intelligent people of Eastern North Carolina demand. 4. Finally, in this brief declaration of Chimer Davis Clark, Jr., is this: The United States Constitution is the heart and soul of the United States of America. Its very existence and adherence enriches the lives of the citizens of the United States of America. It was written for the citizens of our great land, to guide us and be our light when the darkness is heavy. It was not written for other nations so it is not of our concern whether they understand it or even agree with it. WE are the United States of America and the Constitution is the governing framework of our land. If other lands don’t understand it or agree with any part of it, too bad for them. For me I stand with it and for it until I take my final breath.	”
—Chimer Clark’s campaign website (2019)
