Campaign website

Wall’s campaign website stated the following:

“

Border Security
We must protect our borders. If we don't have a border, we don't have a country. #ThisWallWillBuildTheWall

Stop Illegal Immigration
Illegal immigration threatens our families, community, and democracy. I will support President Trump's agenda and work to deport criminal illegal immigrants. We need a fair policy that protects the sovereignty of Texas and this great nation.

Pro-Life
I'm 100% pro-life. I've fought for this issue for years and will never give up on protecting innocent human life.^[3]

”

—Kathaleen Wall^[4]

2018

Wall's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“	Defend Second Amendment Kathaleen Wall grew up on a Texas ranch in a family that used guns responsibly. Defending the 2nd Amendment is about heritage, strong Constitutional protections, and individual American liberty. You can count on Kathaleen Wall, a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association (NRA), to stand up, protect, and defend our constitutional right to own a firearm. Advocate of Life Kathaleen Wall has been a longtime advocate of pro-life causes, defending the right to life from conception to natural death. Kathaleen is endorsed by the Texas Right to Life PAC. She participated in conducting candidate interviews on behalf of Texas Right to Life and testified for pro-life legislation in the Texas Legislature. Kathaleen has fought for our pro-life values and will be a reliable proponent in Congress for pro-life legislation. Repeal and Replace Obamacare Kathaleen Wall will work to repeal and replace Obamacare with a system that provides the right coverage for all Americans - at an affordable price. With the repeal of the individual mandate, a major step forward was taken toward full repeal of Obamacare, but there is much more to be done to achieve full repeal. Kathaleen supports healthcare that lowers costs and premiums, allows for more competition, and provides more choices for patients. Cut Regulation for Working Family Tax Relief Loosening regulation on Americans and on America's businesses will strengthen the economy and provide real tax relief for our working families. The federal government hampers oil and gas companies and our agricultural providers - two of Texas' largest industries - with overregulation that makes product more expensive for the consumer. Kathaleen will support legislation that stops government interference with both business and individuals, and enables businesses to compete and succeed. With a strong economy and less regulation, real tax relief can be felt by our working families. Reduce Illegal Immigration To reduce illegal immigration, Kathaleen Wall supports the building of a wall along the Texas-Mexico border. Like many Texans and Americans, she would like to stop people coming into this country illegally and committing crimes; and will support laws that will better prosecute and deport those who violate immigration laws. Kathaleen will fight to seal our border and stop illegal immigration from undermining U.S. law and sapping Texas resources. Support Harvey Recovery Efforts and Preventative Flooding Measures Kathaleen Wall will work to overhaul the efforts of federal, state, and local governments to ensure the risk of flooding from storms, like Hurricane Harvey, are prevented; and Kathaleen Wall will streamline recovery efforts to make certain Houstonians will receive the help they need and deserve. ^[3]	”
