2016
Corcoran's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[5]
Prescription drug epidemic
- Excerpt: "We need increased funding for law enforcement, but also increased funding for treatment facilities. James Corcoran believes in attacking the problem both at the supply AND demand side."
Avoiding distractions
- Excerpt: "We do not need more manufactured problems like the recent flood of "bathroom bills" designed to prey upon fear and mis-information."
Second Amendment
- Excerpt: "As a Republican candidate, James Corcoran, supports protection of our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. However, responsible gun ownership goes hand in hand with preserving this right."
Diversity
- Excerpt: "No one should have to vote against their own financial interest due to not feeling welcome in the party that values hard work-the Republican Party. By embracing diversity, we can increase support for our issue-based platforms."
Insure TN
- Excerpt: "James agrees with Tennessee hospitals, the Chamber of Commerce, nursing associations, doctor’s associations, and 65% of all Tennesseans that enacting Governor Haslam’s Insure Tennessee Plan would provide health care coverage for almost 300,000 Tennesseans who currently have no access to care."
