Campaign themes

2014

Barton's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[4]

Childhood Education

  • Excerpt: "Parents, not politicians or bureaucrats, should be in charge of the education dollars spent on their children."
  • Excerpt: "Teachers need to be freed from the politicized, bureaucratic status quo and rewarded for the education they provide."

Job Creation and Economic Growth

  • Excerpt: "First, we need to root out special-interests that are costing taxpayers millions, and level the playing field for small business."
  • Excerpt: "Second, we need to simplify and streamline the tax system so that revenue raising is transparent and least burdensome to individuals, families, and businesses alike."

Civil Liberties and Gun Control

  • Excerpt: "Individuals should be free to make choices for themselves and to accept responsibility for the consequences of the choices they make."
  • Excerpt: "Government exists to protect the rights of every individual including life, liberty and property."

Healthcare

  • Excerpt: "First, we need to stop any further federalization of health-care policy. Federal policies are a major source of the problems in our health-care system."
  • Excerpt: "Second, we need to recognize that the federal government is not the only source of bad laws that undermine a well-functioning health-care economy. There are numerous examples of state laws and regulations that are designed to insulate market incumbents from competition."
