Campaign themes
2016
Almond's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Religious liberty
- Excerpt: "Religious liberty is a cornerstone of our Republic. So long as one isn't victimizing another, they should be 100% free to act within their religious convictions."
Education
- Excerpt: "More local control. That means giving local jurisdictions the ability to opt out of Common Core and take charge of their own curriculum."
Taxes
- Excerpt: "I believe that taxes should be minimized, and that the size and scope of government should be as well. Both are necessary evils."
Illegal immigration
- Excerpt: "The Georgia Department of Driver Services has issued over 18,000 driver licenses to illegal immigrants in Georgia, and they continue to do so under Obama's Executive Amnesty Order. I will fight to stop driver licenses for illegals in GA."
Transportation
- Excerpt: "Transportation projects should be undertaken as investments, meaning the taxpayers should be treated like investors, shareholders to be paid back in the form of tax decreases for what they've put in."
