Campaign themes
2016
Lewis' campaign website highlighted the following issues:
Term limits
- Excerpt: "Implementing term limit legislation will force real accomplishment, not just continued re-election. We can break the gridlock, and pass substantive bills, but only if we make elections less about self-service, and more about public service."
Citizen-oriented tax reform
- Excerpt: "We need a representative who will fight for reform that puts more money back in YOUR pocket. You need some relief. I'll fight for you and your wallet, not the special interests."
Sanctity of life
- Excerpt: "We must have a fighter who protects the sanctity of life from birth to natural death, in accordance with the standards set by the Georgia Right to Life."
School choice
- Excerpt: "We need to cultivate the thriving school systems in District 31, and elect a representative who will fight for this progress, not fight against it every step of the way."
Religious freedom
- Excerpt: "Our liberties are not up for compromise. No person should be forced to adhere to anything that violates his/her religious conscience."
