Campaign themes

2016

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

  • Debt: When it comes to National Debt, it is our debt. The elite have long changed the name to National Debt. No matter what they name it, plain and simple it is the people's debt. We The People are responsible for repayment.
  • Second Amendment: The Second Amendment is fundamental to our civil liberties. It acts as the greatest equalizer known to man. A small, seemingly defenseless woman. Has the ability to defend herself from the most powerful of men. Limiting the right to defend ourselves only emboldens those who would do us harm. It is our right to choose the weapons most suitable for individual defense and to keep them available should the need arise. The government should never be allowed to make a choice that is clearly the right of the people.
  • Veterans: Our veterans are the defenders of freedom. They have fought bravely to free us from a tyrant. The hundreds of thousands of lives lost, to forever break the chains of slavery. Their courage on the beaches of Normandy to end the horrible siege on humanity. These sacrifices endured by the few who volunteer their lives and carry the burden of war throughout their days.
  • Government Transparency: Our Government has the duty to be transparent in everything it does. We all understand some secrecy is required when it comes to matters of national security. But, in matters that will affect the people or how we conduct our everyday lives. An open and honest government is only appropiate.
  • Government Accountability: Cover-ups and scandals are the norm in Washington D.C. It is only right to reform the old and adopt simple mechanisms for the people to be able to hold our officials accountable. As we have seen with email scandals, IRS cover-ups secret servers, and illegal executive orders. The lack of accountability among the political elite and government employees is appalling.
