Greg Conlon did not complete Ballotpedia's 2022 Candidate Connection survey.

2016

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

“	First, reduce the size of government and balance the Federal budget each year by reducing the administrative work force in Federal agencies and not replacing retired employees. The nation needs to do this to avoid a financial collapse and protect its bond rating with a national debt of over $20 trillion. Second, resolve immigration issues by strengthening our borders, enforcing the terms of visas legally issued to foreign citizens and reducing all Federal funding to so-called sanctuary cities. The nation needs to solve this issues to avoid losing desirable high paying jobs to foreign students overstaying their visas. Also to reduce the cost of supporting illegal immigrants' health care. Third, provide private sector jobs by reducing the income tax rate on large businesses to 5%, rather than 35% today, for cash returned to the U.S. in exchange for new job creation. The nation needs the additional investment to create over 1.0 to 2.0 million new jobs and spur the economy to growth at 3 to 4% rather than the one and a half to two percent today.	”
