Campaign themes

2016

McCloud's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“
  • Governmental Responsibility: Government is God-ordained. Our leaders therefore hold a great responsibility and will be held accountable by God for the way they govern.
  • Life: All life should be cherished. It begins at conception and ends as we take our last breath. Our fundamental right to life must be protected no matter our age, ability, or perceived worth to society.
  • Traditional Marriage: God ordained and blessed marriage was designed to be between a man and woman. The government may authorize marriage contracts between consenting adults, but only God can define a Biblical marriage. It is a holy covenant and is a church sacrament which must be protected and honored.
  • Limited Government: Government should be small, intervening only when it is absolutely in the best interest of our society. Our lawmakers should be judged not by the number of laws they create, but rather by the wisdom they use in protecting our Constitutional freedoms. Wherever possible and reasonable, I will always vote to reduce the size and reach of government, demanding greater governmental efficiency while protecting individual freedoms.
  • The 10th Amendment: Especially where there is a void in a state’s leadership and performance, the federal government will always have a tendency to over-reach its Constitutional powers. States must continually fight to maintain their rights, realizing that accepting federal funds always comes at a price. The best way to protect our state from federal intrusion is to achieve and maintain financial independence, putting ourselves in the position of being able to say "No" to federal funds.[1]
 ”
—Tom McCloud[2]
