Campaign website
Dellicker’s campaign website stated the following:
“ |
“As your Congressman, I will work to promote freedom, support working men and women, and protect the weak and vulnerable, within the framework of the United States Constitution.” Strong Families We need leaders who are willing to take a stand for the American family. Kevin will bring his hometown values to Washington to preserve the freedoms of ordinary Americans. And in Congress, he will work to help those who cannot care for themselves: the elderly, the poor, and the unborn. It’s time to send a conservative congressional candidate to Washington. Here are just some of the pro-family policies that Kevin will tackle when he gets to Congress: Education Healthcare Protect Life 2nd Amendment Veterans and Military Families Social Security Good Jobs But when the government discourages people from working, lets inflation steal their savings, and erodes their investments, working men and women can’t get ahead. That’s a prescription for economic disaster. Kevin understands that free enterprise is the foundation of America’s economy and must be defended. But he also knows that elitists in power can take advantage of their status to serve their own interests. The weak and the vulnerable must be defended too. That’s why Kevin’s plan to create good jobs will protect our freedoms while putting the needs of working families first. Here’s what Kevin will do about some of the Lehigh Valley’s most important economic issues when he gets to Congress: National Debt Inflation Taxes Small Business Outsourcing Infrastructure Energy and Transportation Safe Communities There you have it. Three of the five main objectives of our federal government relate to law and order. The Democrats don’t prioritize any of them. Kevin will. Here is his plan for having a strong national defense and promoting safe communities when he gets to Congress: China Border Security Election Integrity National Defense Police/First Responders National Guard |

Kevin Dellicker completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Dellicker's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|I live on a small farm in Lehigh County with my wife Susan and our three sons, Will, Jake, and Eli. We like to hunt and fish, watch the Phillies, and follow Lehigh Valley wrestling. I coached youth sports for 20 seasons. I’m a 35-year resident of the Lehigh Valley.
Susan and I started our business 16 years ago in the basement of our home. Today, Dellicker Strategies is a successful technology company that has helped hundreds of schools, hospitals, and businesses close the digital divide.
I’ve also had the honor of serving 26 years in the military as a reservist in the Army and Air National Guard. I deployed four times overseas for the Global War on Terrorism and spent almost 20 percent of my life on military duty as a citizen soldier.
I love God, Family and Country. I respect the U. S. Constitution. And I will do my best to Keep America Free.
- Strong Families. American families are the building blocks of our great nation. But today, they are under attack. Longstanding societal norms are overturned in the blink of an eye. Technology companies tell kids what is right and wrong instead of their parents. God is all but banished from public life. We need leaders who are willing to take a stand for the American family. I will bring hometown values to Washington to preserve the freedoms of ordinary Americans. And in Congress, I will work to help those who cannot care for themselves: the elderly, the poor, and the unborn.
- Good Jobs. If people work hard, save money, and invest wisely, they can build good lives for themselves and their families in the Lehigh Valley. That’s the American Dream. But when the government discourages people from working, lets inflation steal their savings, and erodes the value of their investments, working men and women can’t get ahead. That’s a prescription for economic disaster. I understand that free enterprise is the foundation of America’s economy and must be defended. But I also know that elitists in power can take advantage of their status to serve their own interests. The weak and the vulnerable must be defended too. That’s why my plan to create good jobs will protect our freedoms while putting working families first.
- Safe Communities. Security starts with a strong military. We need to deter threats from abroad, especially the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP is not just another trading partner in need of better business ethics. It is a totalitarian cabal that oppresses its people and threatens its neighbors. We also need to gain control of our borders. It is our fundamental right and responsibility as Americans to determine who enters our nation to work, live, learn, or visit. We cannot have safe communities until the border is secure. Finally, we must help our first responders protect the peace and relieve human suffering. Reducing their resources or tying their hands only leads to a more dangerous society.
I want to revive American manufacturing starting right here in the Lehigh Valley.
And I want to defeat communism anywhere it rears its ugly head around the world.
I am a strong advocate for veterans and military families, especially those in the National Guard and Reserves.
I am sympathetic to entrepreneurs and small business owners, who take risks to live the American Dream and provide good jobs for the rest of us.
And, I am a rigorous defender of religious freedom.
Common Sense
It is a timeless tale of resiliency and the power of the human spirit.
"And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it" (1 Cor 10:13 NIV).
