Campaign themes

2016

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

“	Economy and taxes: Our economy continues to suffer from the bad economic policies of this Administration and virtually no progress by Congress on important economic issues. I will fight for small businesses. To jump-start the economy and restore the American Dream, we must support free trade, research and development, support energy and water independence, reform frivolous lawsuits, cut red tape and regulation, and reform the tax code to encourage investment and entrepreneurship. Fiscal reform: After years of running irresponsible deficits, we must demand financial accountability in Congress. I support a balanced budget that reforms wasteful spending while holding government programs accountable for results. I will introduce a bill that requires a performance audit of every federal program at least every five years and expand authority of Inspectors General to identify and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse. Healthcare and entitlements: ObamaCare is the wrong prescription for the challenges faced in our healthcare system. I will work to fix healthcare by reducing costly government mandates, reforming the tax code and curbing frivolous lawsuits to provide for more affordable solutions, and insisting that doctors and patients – not politicians or bureaucrats – make our health care decisions. I will defend Social Security and Medicare from attacks by politicians – we cannot balance our budget on the backs of our seniors! Education and college affordability: A good education is critical to success in life. That’s why I strongly support reforms to the school system that will allow us to hold schools accountable for student achievement. Teachers should be rewarded for performance, not tenure. To make college more affordable, I will support common-sense reforms to student loan programs to help expand financing options for students and expand a variety of work-study and debt forgiveness programs.	”
