Campaign themes

2016

Schmuck's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Pro-Life

  • Frank believes in the sanctity of life and is committed to defending the rights of our most vulnerable.

Pro-Veteran

  • Frank is a decorated veteran who fought overseas for life as we know it. He's committed to ensuring Veterans receive the proper care they deserve following separation from the armed services and providing job opportunities to those who served.

Defend the 2nd Amendment

  • The right to carry a gun is a basic right of all citizens and residents, guaranteed by the Constitution. I'll defend your right to bear arms and fight against government overreach.

Create a Business Friendly Environment

  • Free markets and less regulation produce more growth, jobs and higher standards of living. Frank will work to bring more business to Arizona and empower the job creators to generate economic growth. Businesses create jobs, not government.

Less Taxes and Regulation

  • Frank is a proponent of reducing income tax in Arizona and ensuring Arizona's business tax environment is more conducive to generating economic growth than the competitors in our region. Frank also supports reducing the regulatory burdens on small businesses to allow them to grow and create new jobs. Government should not stand in the way of business or take more of your hard earned money.

Support Education

  • Frank founded "Tempe Dollars for Scholars" in 2006 and the "Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame Society" in 2007 helping hundreds of high school students in our district and across the state attend college. He's committed to ensuring students receive adequate education funding and that the money allocated to education reaches the classroom and educators instead of getting caught up in administrative overhead.

Secure the Border

  • Believes in protecting our borders by building a wall and creating an environment that encourages legal immigration to the United States.[5]
