Campaign themes
2015
Pace's Facebook page highlighted the following issues:[1]
- Excerpt: "It's easy to say that you are "Pro-Life". I actually work to help the women who are faced with an unplanned pregnancy. I am the President of the Board for our local pro-life CPC ministry. This ministry does more than try to get women not to have an abortion. The volunteers, staff and donors provide life affirming options, baby supplies as well as counseling and classes. Most importantly, the CPC offers these women the Hope of the Gospel."
- Excerpt: "It's easy to say you support the 2nd amendment. I depend on the 2nd amendment and exercise it everyday. I am a hunter. I enjoy shooting my many guns "just for fun". I am a concealed carry permit holder. For me, the 2nd amendment is more than just an idea. It's a way of life."
- Excerpt: "It's easy to say that you support our children. I am "in the trenches" on the front line for our children. I am constantly working with the children of our church and community. I have developed creative activities and ministries. I have worked with church based athletics for children and youth. I also have worked with our local theater; performing alongside the children or our community in two productions: "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and Rodger's Hammerstein's "Cinderella". I believe that our schools, churches and community need to provide positive, educational and enriching activities like all of these for our children. I also provide counseling and pastoral care to troubled and hurting children and youth. I understand the complexity of the world they live in. I know that developing strong, healthy, well adjusted children and youth is messy, time consuming and expensive - but is worth it."
- Excerpt: "It's easy to say that you support the elderly and vulnerable. I have put in the time and energy to prove it. I have served for over a decade as a volunteer chaplain at the Neshoba General Hospital-Nursing Home and the Choctaw Residential Center. I also minister to residents at Atwood and J.G. Alexander nursing homes as well as the VA home in Kosciusko . It breaks my heart to see so many of these sweet senior citizens forgotten about. They are the people who built our community and defended our country. They have earned not only our respect but our time, patience and resources."
