Campaign themes
2014
Perryman's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
Limited Government
- Excerpt: "I want heavy-handed government out of our lives. The less government interference we endure, the more liberties we enjoy — freedom to live, work, worship and raise our families without intrusive legislation. I will vote against (and to the best of my ability block) laws that bolster unwarranted government interference and over-reaching. It should not be tolerated — certainly not in the great State of Texas."
Limited Taxation
- Excerpt: "I stand for reducing the tax burden on small businesses and families. It is simply far too easy for politicians to carelessly spend other people’s hard-earned dollars. Likewise, it is increasingly difficult to navigate our present business environment — something Attorney General Greg Abbott described in his November 15, 2013 speech to the Associated Builders and Contractors of Greater Houston."
Pro-Business, Pro-Jobs
- Excerpt: "As you know, I stand for bolstering the economy and encouraging enterprise by limiting the tax burden on families and small businesses. The reality is, most people work for smaller businesses. Excessive taxation arrests the development of jobs and impacts every household."
Knowledgeable, Experienced Leadership
- Excerpt: "My position is that elected officials should only vote for legislation they have read. It should be a requirement. Lazy leadership equates to a dereliction of duty, because the lack of effort negatively impacts constituents and businesses."
Support of the Military
- Excerpt: "As a veteran of two wars and an officer in the Texas Army National Guard, you can rest assured that I will be a voice for the military men and women who serve from our district and throughout our state. Too often we hear of returning veterans who are not supported, or are targeted by gun control advocates, or are threatened with false medical labels. This is an atrocious violation of their rights."
