Campaign themes

2014

Pfaff's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]

Economy

  • Excerpt: "We must limit regulation on businesses and lower the corporate tax rate to a level competitive with the rest of the international marketplace. This will allow the free market system to work. When left unfettered, capitalism creates a thriving economy."

Education

  • Excerpt: "Paramount is the removal of the federal government from the educational system. The citizens and states, not the federal government, have the only rights granted to them in the Constitution to administer education. Local control will provide better on-the-ground solutions to education."

Energy Independence

  • Excerpt: "All government agencies pertaining to energy development and production, starting with the pink elephant in the room, the Department of Energy, must be eliminated. These agencies are redundant and only curtail energy solutions rather than creating them."

Defense Of The Unborn

  • Excerpt: "As a society, we must return to our Judeo-Christian beliefs and elect officials who support the defense of the unborn. The government needs to defund Planned Parenthood. Finally, the laws at the state level must be amended, only making abortion available in the case of saving the mother’s life."

Immigration

  • Excerpt: "Immigration"
