Campaign themes
2016
Byrd's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
“ | I won't make political promises because such promises have proven themselves, throughout our time, to be worth far less than the commodity price of the recycled value of the paper on which they are printed; what I will do is tell you that I will fight for the individual's right to discover and realize their own best outcome. I believe that the higher levels of government should stop trying to manage us as a political trophy and return a significant portion of the control back to the local level, where WE as individuals and local communities are more qualified to determine our own best destiny. We should not be subject to the definition of our success as determined by those we elect to serve us; but instead by ourselves and be guarded from external influence and destruction by those elected officials who are elected to do so. That is my position and that is how I will serve.[3] | ” |
