Campaign website
Lacy’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Promote Energy Independence I’m the only oil & gas businessman in this race, and District 11 needs a strong fighter who can passionately advocate for our interests in DC. As your Representative in Congress, I pledge that I will always stand up to fight for American energy independence -- with the Permian Basin as the driving force. Secure the Border & Build the Wall President Trump is right, there is a crisis at our Southern border. Drugs and crime are flooding in to our country, and we need to do everything in our power to stop it. I completely support building the wall, and I will work to put an end to dangerous sanctuary cities once and for all. Cut Taxes & Reduce Spending As a business owner, I’ve spent my entire professional career working to optimize my company’s bottom line. As such, I can say for sure that our country doesn’t have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. I will work to cut spending, ensuring that Texans can keep more of their hard-earned paycheck. Stand with President Trump I am proud to stand with President Trump. Since he took office, unemployment is down, there is strong leadership in the White House again, and America is respected on the world stage. His impressive record speaks for itself, and I am looking forward to helping him win re-election in 2020. Defend the 2nd Amendment I am a proud constitutional conservative who understands our right to bear arms is absolutely essential. When Robert Francis O'Rourke says "hell yes, we are going to take your AR-15," I say "hell no, you're not!" I use my rifles for self-defense and to control the feral hogs on my ranch. In Congress, I will hold the line against radical gun-grabbing socialists and fight to restore our God-given right to keep and bear arms. Protect the Unborn I am staunchly pro-life, without exceptions, and believe life begins at conception. The greatest tragedy in this country is the 60 million babies aborted since Roe v. Wade. I pray and work for the day when the sanctity of every human life is protected. As your Congressman, I will do everything in my power to fight for those most needing of protection, because every life is a blessing from God. [2] |
