Campaign themes

2016

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

“	Limited, Smaller, More Transparent Government: I support a leaner, limited government, adherence to the principles of the Constitution, adoption of policies that increase individual freedoms and individual responsibility, while cutting red tape for businesses and encouraging economic prosperity and transparency in government. Freedom Of Religion: The freedom of conscience is fundamental to who we are as a nation. I believe that our rights and dignity come from our Creator, not the government. I will fight to keep the Federal Government from silencing those who live by the many faiths that make up the fabric of our nation. Our Military: A weak national defense is more often an invitation to confrontation that an overture for peace. Our Families: I am concerned that many of the policies coming from Washington discourage family formation, drive fathers out of their children’s daily lives, and discourage parenthood. I support policies, and will work to craft policies, that encourage the formation, strengthening and empowerment of families. Human Life & Abortion: I am pro-life and subscribe to the belief that human life is sacred from conception till natural death.	”
