Campaign themes
2016
McCraw's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Lower taxes
- Excerpt: "The answer to high taxes is simple...we can lower taxes by lowering the cost of government. Merely shifting taxes from one source to another is NOT the correct answer: We must look for ways to cut costs, thereby lowering the over-all tax burden of our state including our state income tax."
Promote economic development
- Excerpt: "By recruiting new industry, we can create more and better paying jobs for the people in our district. More jobs means a better economy."
Defend 2nd Amendment rights
- Excerpt: "The assault on the rights of law abiding citizens to own and carry legal firearms is continuing. I will always stand up and advocate strongly for our 2nd Amendment freedoms."
Improve and strengthen our education system
- Excerpt: "Every child deserves a good education, whether it's in a public, private, or home school. How we educate our children in South Carolina should be decided on the local level, not by government bureaucrats in Washington."
