Campaign themes
2016
Southworth's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Annexation Reform: I would put forth an amendment to our State Constitution to the effect that no annexation initiated by a municipality may occur unless the people threatened with annexation, and they alone, are allowed to vote, and a supermajority of those voting approve the annexation. It would also prohibit any municipality from exercising any authority beyond its corporate limits. This is a simple matter of justice. This would protect the residents of small villages and precincts from being taken over by a neighboring city just to improve the city's tax roles. Connect NC - Robbing From Our Children: On March 15th I'll vote against the Connect NC Bond and encourage all of you to vote AGAINST this. These matters should have been debated and funded in the State Budget instead of pretending that we have money coming from somewhere outside the budget. Selling bonds means more debt. We have to pay the bond holders back with our tax dollars and that means an increase in taxes to you and your children. Government Lists: I will oppose the creation of any registry and/or list for any reason that isn't properly presented, discussed and debated out in the open. YOUR RIGHTS MATTER. Government Mandates: I will oppose any unilateral, Obama style executive action. This is North Carolina ... not North CZARolina. YOUR RIGHTS MATTER. Gun Owner Rights: As an NRA Life member, a member of the Tri-County Friends Of the NRA Committee, a Grass Roots North Carolina alert team member who fully supports the Second Amendment North Carolina's gun owners and their 2nd Amendment rights will have no greater friend than I in Raleigh.[1] |
