Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Malin's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“	Tax Reform: Tax reform is the main reason for my campaign to become a Representative in Congress. I am adamantly opposed to the Federal Income Tax; it is confiscatory and burdensome, it hinders growth and discourages work. But most of all, it is unjust. Second Amendment: I am a staunch believer in the right of every law abiding citizen to protect themselves, others, and their property, with a firearm. A well-armed, law abiding citizenry is in itself a deterrent to a tyrannical government. Military Supporter – VA: The Federal Government’s greatest responsibility is the protection of the citizens and the protection of the homeland. To that end, I believe no expense should be spared to ensure that America has the strongest, most advanced protectionary forces on the planet. Federal Election Reform: Americans deserve complete transparency and confidence in the federal election process. Who Should Use Which Public Restrooms: That our Federal Government involves itself in such an issue simply illustrates how out of touch our national leadership is. At a time when our country is tens of trillions of dollars in debt, and when terrorist organizations are butchering innocents around the globe and threatening our homeland, the absolute last issue they should be concerning themselves with is restroom use.	”
