Campaign themes

2016

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

  • Limit government: Now the government is too big. It reaches into our lives and controls our money, health, mortgages, business, and limits our freedom. The only function of government is to create and maintain a monetary system and defense of the people. The current government is not doing either well.
  • Healthcare reform: The single most devastating enactment to a free market society is Government controlled healthcare. America most certainly needs insurance reform but the ACA allows access to healthcare without cost control. Healthcare should not be regulated. With regulation, America’s healthcare system is reduced to that of Canada, England, or any nation of the world with socialized medicine.
  • Separation of Church & State: Our local churches are falling right and left to taxation from local appraisal districts. Dr. Mitchell proposes to classify all church property as “immune” from taxation in the law. The immune status does not harm the taxing authority and relieves the burden of taxation from the small community church.
  • Pro life: As a physician, Monte has delivered babies and understands how precious life is. He believes that life begins at conception. Dr. Mitchell fights both now and in the future for the protection of the unborn. In his practice, he has helped women to find options other than abortion.
  • Term limits: Career politicians have a tendency to compromise and misrepresent the people of their districts. America needs an infusion of new ideas into the system. One solution is term limits. Term limits forces representatives to organize, work hard, and accomplish their tasks if the desire is a successful legacy.
