Campaign website
Corbin's campaign website stated the following:

Key Issues What I will fight for...
In Michael’s first 100 days in office, he will publicly list all member of Congress currently serving over three years. He will demand an on the record statement for why they do not support term limits, when over 82% of registered voters agree with term limits. Michael will stand shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. Term Limits (USTL) organization and other members of Congress until an Amendment is passed.
Michael will call for immediate transparency of the current United States border policy. He will demand a plan from the Biden Administration on how they plan to curtail future terrorist attacks, drug cartel related crimes, and the American drug epidemic – all stemming from illegal border crossings. If they don’t answer, he won’t stop asking until they do.
Corbin will expose those in Congress who promote and support ill-fated government spending on entitlement programs. Furthermore, he will do the same on the erroneous, aggressive, and careless green initiatives that make our country energy dependent on others, including our enemies.
As a father, Michael will not stand for silencing parent’s voices in the Public School System. He will support states that allow open and free speech at school board meetings, condemn those that do not, and prevent federal government involvement from stymying a parent’s opinion.
Energy independence is vital to the sovereignty of a world power, such as The United States of America. To harness the power and ability to produce and supply our own oil, yet consciously import from our allies and enemies is selfish, reckless, hypocritical and dangerous to our country. We the people of The United Stated of America, will not be held hostage by our government and their ill-fated energy policies that produce energy dependence on foreign entities. The current energy policy, which promotes importing more oil than we consume or export, is a clear and present danger to the national security of our country.[5] |
