Campaign website
Taylor's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Supporting the 2nd Amendment The Constitution says our right to bear arms “shall not be infringed” – period. Jessica will hold the line against radical gun grabbing politicians that want to destroy the rights of law-abiding gun owners. Protecting Life Every life is worth defending. Jessica is unapologetically pro-life and will always support legislation that protects unborn children and preserves the sanctity of life. Securing Our Border We do not have a country unless we have a strong, secure border. I will fight to build the wall and end illegal immigration. Supporting Our Veterans As the wife of a veteran, Jessica knows first hand the sacrifices our veterans make are vital to ensuring peace and freedom throughout the world. Jessica will make sure Washington never leaves a soldier or veteran behind. Limiting the Size of Government As government grows, individual liberty shrinks. I will fight to cut spending, reduce the size of government, and root out waste, fraud, and abuse. Term Limits We need to return to the true citizen legislator as our founding fathers intended. I support term limits for Congress to get rid of career politicians and help drain the swamp.[4] |
