Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Bartley's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • 2nd Amendment: It is a constitutional, fundamental and individual right of the people to keep and bear arms. I will defend this right, which is essential to the preservation of our American way of life, our ability to protect our families, our communities and our homes and businesses. The Federal Government has no authority on this matter, as it was set forth by our Founding Fathers.
  • 10th Amendment: Our Founding Fathers created the Federal Government for two purposes and two purposes only: 1. To protect our liberty, 2. To serve the people. No more and no less. The power to decide what is best for individuals and individual States should be left to individuals and individual States. If you don’t like the rules of a particular State then move to one more suited to your liking.
  • Education Reform: Much of our educational system was built to feed the assembly lines that powered the American Economy in the last century. What we need today is education that provides the critical thinking skills necessary for the new economy. We need to stop endless testing, limit class sizes to 20 students or less, bring back vocational and technical training and most of all invest in human capital. Teachers are at the forefront of our economy, shaping and molding our future entrepreneurs and consumers, therefore; they need to be paid as such.
  • Pro-Life: I believe in the sanctity of human life, from conception to natural death. The whole life matters. I will always support and defend laws that protect and uphold life.
  • Economic Viability: I believe in a free-market system of government, this is what our country was built on and if we do not begin to limit government intervention, we will not be the greatest country in the World anymore. Entrepreneurship is the backbone of our economy and I will fight to make it easier for individuals to pursue their American Dream by limiting the restraints put on small businesses and easing access to information and support.
  • Homelessness: The issue of homelessness goes further than just providing shelters and permanent supportive housing to the homeless. I will initiate legislation that allows us to invest time and energy into getting to the core issue of why an individual has become homeless and then provide them with the tools and support they need to be self sufficient and productive members of society. Shelters and PSH are just band-aides, I would like to find a cure.
