Campaign website
Ejigu's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Learn Where Lulite Stands On The Issues Standing For Economic Liberty Our American dream is founded on the opportunities that allow us to take care of our families. These opportunities are essential for the success of our future generations. Standing For Religious Freedoms True saying that ‘when we stand for nothing, we fall for everything’. If we don’t STAND up against big government and this over politicizing of issues, we hurt the bedrock of the American family. No matter the religion or beliefs they are ALL safeguarded in our constitution as it should remain. Fighting for Pro-Family Legislation Pro-Family legislation focuses on the principles that honor and empower our communities, which are: supporting small business, our elders, single parents, our youth and other key groups that are critical to the fabric of our strong American communities.[3] |
