Campaign website

Ramsey's campaign website stated the following:

Mark Ramsey helped to WRITE the grassroots Republican Party of Texas Platform and the Legislative Priorities. Below are a few of those issues, but rest assured Ramsey’s guidebooks on issues include the GOP Platform and the Legislative Priorities!

ECONOMY

Open the great American economic engine back up, eliminate over-regulation, free the private sector to innovate.

BORDERS

Seal our southern border against illegal immigration. Stop illegal immigration. Reduce legal immigration but process legal applicants faster.

SIZE OF GOVERNMENT

Immediate hiring and budget freezes.

Sunset provisions for agencies.

Ban Taxpayer Funded Lobbying!

PRO-LIFE

Life begins at conception and there should be no compromises in protecting it!

TAXES

Cut taxes at every opportunity.

MANDATES

No Mandates! No mask or vaccination mandates by government or private sector. Period.

ELECTION INTEGRITY

Restore faith in our elections. No compromises.

SUPPORT FAMILIES, CHURCHES AND JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES

Restore our culture and require “Family and Faith Impact Statements” on every agency rule and law before enactment. Ban child mutilation!

SCHOOL CHOICE

Get Washington, D.C. out of local education. School choice by parents is paramount!

No CRT indoctrination.

No drag queen story hours!

TERM LIMITS

I will vote for all term limit legislation. No exceptions.

OIL AND GAS

Clean, abundant, affordable energy benefits everyone. It is also organic so it is inherently biodegradable, unlike Washington D.C. and United Nations promoted global schemes.

FOREIGN POLICY

Stop sending US taxpayer dollars to corrupt countries who don’t like us.

Always support Israel!

GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE WAR

Washington, D.C. needs to stop using taxpayer funds to subsidize unsustainable and expensive energy alternatives. D.C. should never be picking “winners and losers” in our economy. Climate taxes of any sort are destructive to high paying oil and gas jobs in the Houston area and elsewhere and will hurt families and local economies. The U.N. should never be in charge of programs such as this.

CENSORSHIP

Censorship of all forms should be immediately halted, whether by government, political parties, or big tech and media. Porn, however, should be prosecuted and kept from our children.

FREEDOM!

Our lives and those of our families are best when we are in charge of decisions and responsibilities, NOT governments. Government should be as inconsequential to our lives as possible.

“Government is not the solution to the problem: government is the problem.”

– R. Reagan[3]

—Mark Ramsey's campaign website (2022)[4]
