Campaign website
Snider's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Veterans I was 20 years old when I made my first combat deployment overseas to a remote area in Afghanistan. Today on the home front, I use the V.A. Healthcare system regularly. Veterans have made a huge personal sacrifice by choosing to serve our country. Hundreds of thousands of military veterans do not reach out for the support they need due to the V.A.'s inability to keep up with the demand. Every V.A. hospital is run differently across the nation and this creates confusion. When elected, I will send a bill to the President's desk that brings unison among V.A. hospitals across the nation. Immigration Securing our southern border and building a wall to prevent the rapid progression of illegal immigrants entering our country is crucial to our countries long term success. When in Congress I will work to implement new laws for immigrants to obtain legal residence status at an affordable cost. 2nd Amendment The 2nd Amendment was created to prevent government overreach and disarming of its citizens. Over time, Congress has created new laws infringing on these rights by regulating certain firearms and accessories. Across the United States, there are millions of responsible firearm owners, and Congress is actively working to strip those rights away. When elected, I will fight Democrats in Congress to protect our God-given rights such as Constitutional Carry and National Reciprocity for license holders which are vital to the Constitutional protections of the 2nd Amendment. Healthcare Healthcare is an issue that affects all Texans along with Americans across the nation. Not having an insurance plan that provides the coverage that is needed for an individual can be a death sentence. Americans rack up millions in medical debt or continue to not seek the proper medical attention out of fear of being in debt for the rest of their lives. I will work to ensure Americans who like their health care coverage can keep it and if an individual’s employer doesn't provide health insurance, then providing a tax break so they can purchase a plan on the open market. Transportation Innovation through technology has swept every industry and brought its fair amount of challenges. These advances have come with a debate about the role between what needs to be run solely by humans or technology. The safety of our communities needs to be the number one goal when addressing each industry-specific obstacle regarding the roles between technology and humans. Currently, it is mandatory for airplanes to have two pilots onboard to ensure the safety of the public. The same must be done for the railroad industry. Abortion All unborn lives matter. Democratic leadership has taken it to the extreme by nearly allowing abortions up until the time of birth. There are loving families out there who cannot have children and would gladly adopt those children. Abortion is a selfish act and I will always fight for the lives of the unborn. Term Limits Americans find themselves continuing to vote for career politicians that have spent their life in Congress doing nothing for their constituencies. When elected, I will help pass term limits for the House of Representatives to be limited to four – two-year terms. For the U.S. Senate, term limits should be limited to two – 6-year terms. This would prevent career politicians from serving for years and losing touch with the people who placed them in their positions. Taxes Taxes continue to be the death of American working families. President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law in 2017 that put money back into the taxpayer’s wallet. I will continue the fight alongside Republicans in Washington D.C. to further expand tax cuts for even more families. I will also work to eliminate the tax on overtime pay after 40 hours during the workweek, as well as, abolish taxes on all social security checks. Renewable Energies Subsidies In 2018, the United States used more renewable energy than it has ever before. When in Congress, I will promote the growth of clean, reliable and renewable energy. As technology continues to advance, America will be prepared to lead the way in energy innovation.[1] |
