Campaign website
Ray's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Rein in Government Spending and Stop Inflation Career politicians in Washington have one thing in mind: their pork-barrel projects. Point is, as your Congressman, I will work for Louisville's hardworking taxpayers—not my own agenda. Cutting spending will bring inflation in check!
The violent crime that plagues Louisville is a direct result of poor leadership and lack of opportunity. It's time for D.C. to stop passing spending bills and put more focus on enhancing and improving our community through economic opportunities for all citizens which will stop crime by providing hopeful good jobs and lifestyles throughout our City! Let’s support good Police, ones who protect our neighbors and neighborhoods!
It can't be said enough. We have to fix our economy. Rising Interest Rates will destroy the ability of lower and middle income families to afford to buy a home or even a car. I will fight to make things affordable again for the families of Louisville.
Since Joe Biden was elected, illegal crossings have reached new records. We cannot have a country without sovereign borders. I will stand up for our border patrol agents, secure our border, and finish the steel wall. This too will reduce the plague of human, sex and drug trafficking impacting our neighbors and children!
I am a proud graduate of Ballard High School and am saddened to see that our leaders have been failing our kids for the last 40 years. It is my priority to get our education system back on the right track through school choice, charter schools and improved magnet school programs. I will identify funding to harden our school and improve safety programs.
Your Constitutional rights are not up for debate, even though D.C. politicians think otherwise. I will fiercely defend your God-given rights in Congress. All of them! Gun control is not an option, enforce the laws, prosecute violent criminals and not look to pass nonsensical redundant laws! That's a promise!
As a small business owner myself, I know how government regulations can burden business! We must prioritize Louisville businesses so that our economy can grow and create new jobs. We also must covet our Corporate Headquarters, our foundation of companies currently employing thousands! Louisville can attract the relocation of great companies, it is time to go on the offense, bring great new jobs and companies to Louisville, with an emphasis on the west and south side to balance opportunity![3] |
