Campaign website

Mayberry’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Military & Veterans As a member of Congress I will do all that I can to support our military and our veterans. And I believe we must honor the obligations we made to our veterans. We asked them to be willing to lay down their lives, so we should honor their sacrifices by providing the very best health care available. No Veteran that has ever served this country should ever lack care for their physical or mental health. Without our veterans we would not have a Country. There are many threats in this world and we must continue to invest in research and development so that our military will always stand at the ready with the technology needed to keep them safe and to defend our nation. We should only use military intervention when the national security interests of the United States is threatened. It would be wrong to ask our Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers, and Marines to put their lives at risk for anything less Illegal Immigration We have potentially as many as 20 million people that are living illegally in the United States. And as many as 8 Million have crossed the border since Joe Biden’s Open Borders Policy started 3 years ago. As President Trump said many times, we must have Immigration reform. But, no one in Congress seems to be willing to put in the effort to work on this problem. I want to shut our border to illegal immigration, sex trafficking of children, and fentanyl. I support shutting down illegal immigration and at the same time streamline and expand our guest worker program. That way, we have the workforce that we need, but we know who is in our country. I will always stand with the men and women of the Border Patrol and fight to give them the resources and support they need to protect our nations border. Economy Under President Trump we had an economy with low gas prices and non-existent inflation. Families were able to buy groceries, afford a home, and household wealth was increasing. Now though, NC families are struggling. With 3 years of Bidenomics behind us, gas prices have nearly doubled, groceries are unaffordable, and the American Dream of young families buying their first home is unattainable. President Trump began the return of manufacturing to the United States, and I will work to do the same. As a County Commissioner my focus was to create the conditions that would bring in new jobs. In Washington I will fight to stop unnecessary job killing regulations and high taxes and make sure that the American economy and American manufacturing is great for the middle class again. Fiscal Spending I believe that the Federal Government spends way too much money. It taxes too much and then spends even more than it brings in through those taxes. Hard-working taxpayers deserve a government that is efficient and good stewards of the money provided by the citizens. Cutting regulations and red tape to make government work for the people should be the goal. We can cut spending and get the government out of the way so that our small businesses and farmers can grow and create jobs. A smaller government that spends less coupled with a growing economy are what is necessary to cut the deficit and begin paying down our National debt. All across North Carolina middle-class families must live within their means and the Federal government should have to do the same. I support a balanced budget amendment that requires Washington to pass a balanced budget every year. Securing Elections I believe that if we do not have election integrity then we do not have a Republic. The fact is many voters do not trust the results. There is no reason that we should not have processes in place that will give us confidence in our elections. That is why I support a National Voter ID law to safeguard our sacred right to vote for the leaders that represent us. I also support requiring states to purge deceased and ineligible voters from their voter rolls. I also support a Federal law requiring paper ballots, not just tapping your choices on a computer screen, and prohibiting ballots being mailed to any voter without that voter requesting it. Farming and Agriculture A nation that cannot feed itself will fall. Our Farmers and others that are in Agriculture and Forestry deserve our thanks and our support in Congress. They are the backbone of our country, and I will fight to ensure that the bureaucrats in Washington are not allowed to regulate our farmers out of business. It is critical for the National Security of the United States that Congress does everything it can to level the playing field and protect our farmers. Energy Independence I myself am for an “All of the above strategy” when it comes to energy. We should use every source that makes financial sense. We have more oil reserves than Russia and Saudia Arabia combined. We should be pumping it out of the ground, putting oil wells off the coasts, pumping out more oil in Alaska, digging our coal, building more nuclear reactors, and supporting Research and Development at our Colleges and Universities to develop better technology to power our country. By using our resources wisely, fixing the federal licensing process for new nuclear plants, cutting regulations and red tape for all energy companies, we can be 100% Energy Independent, protect the national interests of the United States, and still protect our environment.	”
