Campaign website
Brooks' campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
IMMIGRATION FINISH. THE. WALL. The Democrat’s failed “open border” policies are dangerous to our national defense, our personal safety, and are harmful to the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who are currently on a legal path to citizenship.
I believe that all children, including the unborn, are guaranteed the right to life by our Creator. I believe in the sanctity of life, and I will fight to protect the life at the earliest sign of viability and stop taxpayer funding of abortions.
SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS As a S.W.A.T Team Sniper and a certified NRA Patrol Rifle Instructor, I know the importance of your right to defend yourself, your home and your family. I will fight the gun-grabbing liberal elite who are trying to circumvent our constitution and remove your ability to protect yourself.
DEFUND D.C. NOT THE POLICE. The Democrats and Joe Biden are more interested in funding the Taliban than our own police. We must get the federal government out of our local police department. I know firsthand the sacrifices our brave officers make on a daily basis to protect our community. I will do everything in my power to back the blue.
Career politicians are the root cause of the disrespect and division that has crept into our society. I propose that no politician should serve more than two terms in the Senate, no more than ten years in the House of Representatives, and that we should explore federal judicial term limits to put an end to the life time appointment of judges who unconstitutionally legislate from the bench.
The Biden and Pelosi agenda is killing Mississippi livelihoods and jobs. I will work to protect South Mississippians from overbearing government regulation and once again put the American worker first.
Having faith in our Democracy is a fundamental part of being an American. Citizens deserve fair and honest election system. I will defend your right to vote in fair elections and stop the left’s political agenda of federalizing elections in their desperate attempt to stay in perpetual power.
Our national defense is built right here in South Mississippi, and I will fight to keep our shipbuilding at Ingalls and VT Halter Marine, Inc going strong. I will work to ensure that our men and women in uniform serving in our South Mississippi military bases will never go without, and are provided with the necessary support to protect our nation from all threats.[3] |
