Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Bagwell's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“
  • Education: Tom Supports free market solutions to education that will enhance school choice, increase educational results, and lower costs. Tom also believes current student loan debt holders need relief.
  • Military and Immigration: Tom knows that our military cannot police the world especially with the current debt situation. Also, having a large interventionalist military leaves the US open to more terrorist attacks by those in the world who don't like us and our policy. We also must change immigration policy.
  • Taxation, Economy, and Spending: Tom supports you keeping your own money. You earned it. Taxation is theft. Eliminating taxes and shrinking government is a top priority!
  • Healthcare: Healthcare is a commodity just like any other that needs to be left to the free market. This will open up access and reduce costs.
  • Environment: Climate change is happening. It is real. It is not entirely man made but must be addressed by the marketplace not government. Tom supports eleminating the wasteful EPA to streamline our proesses for protecting the environment. He also supports allowing individuals more solutions to redress pollution of their homes and private lands.
