Campaign themes

2010

Hilliard's website talks about the following issues:

  • Jobs
Excerpt: "Ryan knows how important job creation is to all North Carolinians. Putting North Carolina back on track will be Ryan's top priority."
  • Taxes
Excerpt: "Lower taxes empower people to have greater control over their everyday lives. Who can spend your money better, you or politicians in Raleigh? Ryan believes you can."
  • Spending
Excerpt: "Companies and people create jobs, not government. Cutting spending will allow us to lower taxes and still operate a balanced budget."
  • Regulation
Excerpt: "It is time to reduce regulation that serves no tangible purpose, and unleash business to grow and flourish."
  • Healthcare
Excerpt:"Enact tort reform to reduce legal abuse that leads to higher insurance costs.
Push for malpractice reform for doctors, which will lead to a reduction in "defensive" care and ultimately lower insurance costs.
Better, lower cost insurance options that come from increased competition, tort reform, and better protections for doctors."
  • Education
Excerpt: "Our tax dollars should go to providing students with the very best education, not needless bureaucracy, social engineering, or a political agenda."
  • Abortion
Excerpt: "The Declaration of Independence decrees our right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." There is no mention in the U.S. Constitution or North Carolina Constitution of a right to abortion."
  • Environment
Excerpt: "there is a delicate balance that must be struck between protecting the environment and having government over-regulate business and private property."
  • Second Amendment
Excerpt: "Keeping and bearing arms is a constitutional right. Any effort to infringe or limit this right for law abiding citizens is just as unconstitutional as limiting other rights such as the right to free speech."
