Campaign website
Fegler’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Securing the Border The US border is critical for national security, with a focus on preventing illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and infiltration by criminal or terrorist elements. Emphasis needs to be placed on robust border security measures to protect American citizens and communities. We must provide our law enforcement teams with necessary support, including resources, technology, and authority, to enforce immigration laws, apprehend violators, and prevent illegal activities at the border.
Scott has had a successful career working for a family business, understanding the hard work and grit required to operate one. Having also worked with federal agencies, he grasps the challenges and expenses associated with regulatory requirements and is committed to eliminating bureaucratic and nonsensical roadblocks that hinder business operations. Scott opposes federal and statewide mandates that adversely impact small businesses and is dedicated to working on tax reform policies, both in Washington and Central New Jersey. He pledges not only to advocate for small businesses but also to be a voice of the people, by the people.
Scott is extremely passionate about energy and understands its role as a critical resource. Electricity needs to be thought through both strategically and regionally- considering impacts to the environment, accessibility and affordability. Oil, Gas, Propane, and even Coal will play a significant role in the immediate future as we transition into greener energy. Nuclear energy should be further utilized as clean, reliable, and cost-effective. In our NJ congressional 6th District, we are likely to see hundreds of Wind Turbines installed just off our coast. Through federal subsidies these energy projects will cost taxpayers billions throughout their lifecycle, endangering marine wildlife while achieving very little in our rush to decarbonize haphazardly.
Scott is committed to crafting legislation on term limits and look to provide change to the establishment. Term Limits in Congress and Senate offer a critical safeguard against the potential pitfalls of prolonged political tenure. By curtailing the length of time individuals can hold office, we mitigate the risks of complacency, corruption, and detachment from constituents. This fosters a continuous infusion of new perspectives and ensures that elected officials remain responsive to the evolving needs and desires of the electorate. Term limits, therefore, serve as a vital mechanism for preserving accountability, promoting democratic vitality, and maintaining the integrity of our representative government. [2] |
