Campaign themes
2016
Lowe's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Enact the Georgia Fairtax
- Excerpt: "Like Florida and other states, we need a state consumption tax to replace all state income taxes. I will support this effort and work to convince other members of the State House to join me."
Propose term limits
- Excerpt: "Regardless of the law, I will term limit myself. I will also propose legislation during my first term to enact this policy for all members of the State House and Senate."
Support the Religious Freedom Restoration Act
- Excerpt: "This legislation has overwhelming support across the state. I will support this legislation and work to see its passage and that it is signed by the Governor."
Education freedom: No Common Core
- Excerpt: "I believe parents should have complete freedom to have their children educated at their school of choice. The money should follow the student. I also oppose Common Core; teachers and local school boards should have the final say, not a bureaucrat in Washington D.C."
Pro-Life and medical cannabis
- Excerpt: "I am Pro-life. This is why I support Medical Cannabis expansion for people in need of treatment. Doctors should be making this decision for patients, not the state government."
