Campaign themes
2014
Deraney's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Simplicity and Liberty
- Excerpt: "The machinery of government has become an all-too-intrusive force in our daily lives. I fully believe, as was the mission of our founding fathers, that government be limited to the protection of its people and to the maintenance of our liberties."
Your Job, Your Money
- Excerpt: "Money is a sore spot for many Americans right now. Our leaders have not been forthcoming in their efforts to maximize the value of the almighty dollar in the pockets of America’s citizens. Our government isn't a creator of wealth — it’s a detractor of it."
The 2nd Amendment
- Excerpt: "As a gun owner, I am fully supportive of the 2nd Amendment:"
Equal Rights
- Excerpt: "I believe that our lives begin at conception and our equality does not stop at skin color. Your gender, your age, your origin, your sexual orientation, should never be the reason you are denied basic liberties and rights. "
Education
- Excerpt: "Education is paramount in empowering our children with knowledge that will allow them to prosper as they grow. I fully support a parent’s right to decide where he or she deems fit to send their child to be educated: public schools, charter schools, parochial schools, etc."
