Campaign themes

2016

Mathis' website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]

The Constitution

  • Excerpt: "If elected, I promise to protect the rights of Americans in general, and Hoosiers in particular to keep and bear arms, as guaranteed by the Second Amendment."

Gun Rights

  • Excerpt: "If elected, I promise to protect the right of all Americans to be just as well armed as the average soldier. I will work to defeat any legislation that even hints at gun registration or confiscation."

Military

  • Excerpt: "I believe our military should be restored to preeminence in the world. They need and deserve the best equipment, the best training, and the best leadership available. US military might should be used with restraint, but once engaged, the only acceptable outcome is absolute, unconditional victory over our enemies."

Veterans

  • Excerpt: "If elected, I will fight for the rights of veterans to have the medical care they have so richly earned in service to our great nation. They should be able to get the medical care they need at any local clinic or hospital, not just a VA facility hours away."

Education

  • Excerpt: "I believe that Indiana public schools should offer the finest education available. I believe that all educational decisions, e.g. curriculum, textbooks, class times, sizes, and education methods should be the exclusive province of local and state boards of education."
