Campaign themes

O'Grady's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

  • Government’s three key roles: protect citizens’ liberties, enforce contracts, provide temporary fixes for problems the free market isn’t solving
  • Government power should be less centralized
  • The current incentive structure in government leads to inefficiency rather than success
  • A thriving middle class is a sign the government is doing a good job
  • Government should not meddle in fair competition through corporate welfare and favoritism[1]
