Campaign website
Winegarner's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Defending Our Border Josh knows our National Security requires strong Border Security. He will fight to help President Trump build the wall and protect our families from dangerous drug cartels, and stop illegal immigration. Supporting Agriculture Helping Texas farmers and ranchers has been a core principle of Josh’s entire career. The agricultural industry is vital to the families of our district. And now more than ever we need a strong voice in Congress that understands the needs of agriculture businesses to stand up to the special interests that want threaten them. Providing a Local Voice As a native of the Panhandle who has built a career defending our interests and is raising a family here, Josh knows what we need our Congressman to fight for. This is why he has earned the endorsement of the most respected leaders from our area including Congressman Mac Thornberry, State Senator Charles Perry, Former State Rep. Warren Chisum, and Former Mayor of Wichita FalIs Kay Yeager. Preserving Christian Values & Protecting Innocent Life Josh has been guided by his deep Christian faith his whole life. These Christian values form the foundation for Josh’s decision making and will continue to do so as our Congressman. Josh is a strong Pro-Life conservative who will stop tax dollar funded abortions, and is endorsed by Texas Alliance for Life. Defending The Constitution Our constitutional rights are being attacked daily by Washington liberals. Josh knows how to fight against these attacks and will ensure our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms, and religious freedoms to practice our faith without interference are not infringed upon. Providing a Strong National Defense Our national security faces serious challenges from those around the world that would like to see our nation harmed. Like the Chinese communist leaders who caused the Coronavirus pandemic by lying about its spread and covering it up. Josh will take the steps needed to defend our country from China and others that seek to do us harm.
