Campaign Facebook page
Semple's campaign Facebook page stated the following:
| “ |
Equal Rights For All I believe the right of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness is open to all. They are granted by our Creator. No government can eliminate them, no person should attempt to deny them Tax Reform My goal is to create and environment where citizens are able to keep more of their hard earned money. Ideally I'd like to see Missouri move away from income tax. 2nd Amendment The right to keep and bear arms is about every American being able to defend their inalienable rights. Common Sense Gun Safety Common Sense Gun Safety is about ensuring that those who purchase firearms are properly trained to use those tools with the utmost safety Fiscal Responsibility Thankfully the state of Missouri has a Balanced Budget law. I believe at this point the goal is to ensure that we are using tax revenues in the most responsible ways possible. Right To Life I believe that all innocent humans no matter how young or old have an inalienable right to life.[2] |
