Issues
Magee submitted the following statement to Ballotpedia:
| “ | I am a Conservative, Republican Candidate; a Bible-believing Christian who only wants what's best for our country. The first bill I'll sponsor as our next US Senator is what I call 'The Liberty Bond', a program that will give all US taxpayers a voice in how their tax dollars are being spent, a 20% Tax Deduction, and a reliable way to increase their net worth.
This federally-insured bond will generate new investment in health, education and welfare projects; in job-producing industries. I will also support legislation that allows us to secure our borders, stop the flow of illegal immigrants and impose stringent screening requirement on visa applications from enemy nations. The above-mentioned link also makes reference to these points. Yesterday, I confirmed with the Division of Elections that voting for me on November 4th is a simple matter of clicking on the Write-In circle and typing in 'E Magee' in the drop-down box -- That's six letters to victory![8] |
