Campaign website
Haygood's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Reduce Federal Spending The Federal government spends far too much of the taxpayers money. Our National debt is spiraling out of control with no end in sight. We need more fiscal conservatives in Congress who will vote to reduce spending and reign in the out of control slush fund we find ourselves in.
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness are fundamental rights given to us from God. It begins with Life, we must protect life! I believe life begins at conception and I will never back down from protecting the rights of the unborn.
Our veterans have made so many sacrifices and because of that our veterans must be treated with excellence. They should receive the best medical care, education support or assistance in starting a business. They deserve our highest gratitude.
America was built on free market economic principles and it’s those principles that will guide our economy back to superiority. We must keep taxes low to encourage investment and hiring. We must reduce bureaucratic red tape so we don’t stifle small business startups and look at ways to reduce federal regulation.
When it comes to keeping America safe, securing our border is extremely important. We need to complete the construction of the border wall, fully fund our border patrol and law enforcement agents and ensure that immigration laws on the books are enforced.
The right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right that “shall not be infringed”. I will always vote to protect our 2nd amendment right and I support Constitutional Carry.
Our elections must be secure and citizens need to have confidence that the sanctity of their vote is protected. Regardless of your opinion on the 2020 elections, we all agree that we need to make our elections secure and make it harder to cheat and easier to vote. I will oppose any federal take over of our elections or removal of the Electoral College.
It’s a shame what our Supply chain has become in America. Unfortunately it has affected our economy and is likely playing a role in the increase of household items, automobiles, lumber, steel and other items. No one in Washington knows how to fix it, well I can tell you more regulation and more requirements on truck drivers is not the solution. My first bill in Congress will be to audit the “Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration” and ensure that we’re making it easier to find commercial truck drivers.
Georgia has a balanced budget requirement, our families have to balance our budget, why should Washington be any different. We can’t spend money we don’t have and just continue to rack up more debt. I support a balanced budget amendment to constitution.[2] |
