Campaign themes
2016
Flynn's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
DeKalb County and cityhood
- Excerpt: "At the end of the 2016 legislative session, the General Assembly has again failed to pass a bill eliminating the CEO position from the government of DeKalb County. Lane believes that, like every other county in Georgia, DeKalb County should not have such an elected position."
Economy
- Excerpt: "As a small business owner, Lane supports policies that reduce regulation and taxation that hamper business, and will work to ensure that Georgia continues to be a great place to do business and to create jobs for local citizens."
Transportation
- Excerpt: "Rather than tax increases to provide blank checks to already inefficient systems, Lane supports the creation of an effective local and regional plan that improves the existing road network, makes better use of the public transportation infrastructure we have already paid for, and includes partnerships with private businesses who need better transportation options to attract the best employees."
Aviation
- Excerpt: "As an experienced pilot who uses aviation in his own business, Lane understands the benefits that a thriving general aviation airport can bring to an area. Lane will work to ensure that Georgia enacts policies that promote the use of aviation to benefit local businesses and generate jobs and economic growth in the district."
2nd Amendment
- Excerpt: "Lane is a member of the NRA and of GeorgiaCarry.org. He believes that Americans have the right to keep and bear the firearms of their choice for hunting, sport, self-defense, and other lawful purposes."
