Campaign themes

2016

Parker's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]

Agriculture

  • Excerpt: "I believe we need a Senator who has an Agricultural background and understands Ag issues. I was a pecan grower for 10 years, and I hold the American Farmer Degree from the FFA. I am the Agricultural Candidate."

Economic freedom

  • Excerpt: "The free market economy is driven by the economic choices of individuals and businesses. The free market, when left unrestricted, allows freedom for economic and individual liberty to thrive and prosper."

Education

  • Excerpt: "Educators need to be encouraged, respected, uplifted, and honored. They should be held to the highest esteem in our communities and in our state. I will work to ensure educators are put first instead of the issue or policy change being first."

Fiscal responsibility

  • Excerpt: "Georgia, unlike Washington, is required by law to maintain a balanced budget. We can do better than that. We need to maintain a stable, rainy day fund, and return excess funds to the people by lowering taxes."

Religious freedom bills

  • Excerpt: "With a lot of hard work, HB757, the - Free Exercise Protection Act - has passed the House and the Senate. We now need to send 250,000 emails, phone calls and letters to Governor Nathan Deal to urge him to sign HB757."

Second amendment

  • Excerpt: "The constitution gives us the right to own and bear arms. That is why I fought successfully to defeat HB731 'The Assault Weapons Band' [sic] in this session."

Small business

  • Excerpt: "Small business is the economic engine of Georgia, the nation, and the world. Without the strength of small business, we would never have survived the financial crisis of 2008. Business owners are tired of being over taxed, over regulated, and being punished for growing their business. It is my desire to get the government off their back, out of their pocket, and off their property."

Tax reform

  • Excerpt: "Abolish the IRS Code forever. Replace it by enacting a sales/consumption tax. Effectively eliminating Death Taxes, Capital Gains Taxes,and [sic] the burdensome IRS Tax Code will be high on my agenda."
