Campaign themes

2016

Lucero's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“
  • Second Amendment: The Second Amendment was designed to allow people to protect themselves from their government, not to allow them to hunt. We need an honest discussion about mental health issues not taking away rights. How do we get assistance to the people who are struggling with mental health issues? It is a difficult discussion, but it is the discussion that needs to happen. Bold leadership can always be documented in the votes you cast. It’s easy to say you stand for the Second Amendment. When the going get’s tough, I am willing to be vocal and vote. I have proven my position both in actions and words.
  • Healthcare: We need to find ways to introduce personal responsibility and incentives into health care. Only when people take ownership and oversight of their healthcare will costs begin to slow. If there is one issue that should unite all Republicans this election it is Amendment 69. As defenders of limited government, we have tantamount responsibility to say NO to Amendment 69. Moving Colorado to a single payer system will destroy our economy, and will bring a flood of new people to the state wanting free health care. If the government tells you something will cost $25 billon, then hold onto your wallet.
  • Security: One of the transformative issues of our day is security. Unfortunately the president has created a culture where Radical Islamic Terrorists feel they can operate on American soil. While we cannot trust the federal government to protect our families, we must protect our own communities. When we’re strong we are safe. An armed citizen is a safe citizen.
  • Taxes & TABOR: TABOR, the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, was added to Colorado's Constitution to protect taxpayer rights. In the current political climate, TABOR has become controversial. The controversy is simply because it makes it harder for lawmakers to spend taxpayer money. As taxes are collected and budgets are created, TABOR serves as an important reminder to lawmakers that the money they spend belonged first to you, the citizens of Colorado. TABOR should be protected as an important accountability measure within the State Legislature. In Colorado, we should maintain tax rates that are attractive to new businesses so that we continue to enjoy robust growth and job creation. We need to ensure that creating our budget is part of an informed process that protects the sovereignty of our state and minimizes Federal money that has too many strings attached.[1]
