Campaign website

Curtis’ campaign website stated the following:

REPUBLICAN JOHN CURTIS GETS THINGS DONE

Public Lands

  • John has transferred more federal land to Utah than anyone else in state history.
  • John has protected land access for farmers and ranchers whose livelihoods depend on it.
  • In the Senate, John will continue to protect Utah land from outside intrusion and federal overreach.

China

  • John has been advised in security briefings to never go to China again. There’s a warrant for his arrest in Hong Kong.
  • John is a leader in Congress on U.S.-China policy. He speaks Mandarin and knows the Chinese culture. His Taipei Act is the biggest step taken to counter China since Ronald Reagan.
  • In the Senate, John will continue to stand up to communist China’s aggression.

Southern Border

  • John has visited the border three times and has witnessed the inhumane conditions of those who have been falsely promised the American dream by the Biden Administration.
  • John is committed to stopping the cartels’ deadly flow of fentanyl, human trafficking, and illegal immigrants into the U.S.
  • In the Senate, John will work to secure the border and fix our broken immigration system.

Energy

  • John has done more to support U.S. oil and gas than any other member of Congress. John is fighting to make the U.S. not just energy independent, but energy dominant.
  • Biden’s energy policies are driving up prices and our national debt, crippling our economy and undermining our national security and energy independence.
  • In the Senate, John will push for a tariff on China, forcing them to pay for their pollution and level the playing field for Utah businesses that are doing things the right way.

Utah Values

  • John is a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, fiscal conservative who is committed to cutting Biden’s reckless spending.
  • In the U.S. Senate, John will continue to stand by these Utah values.

Crypto

  • Business and innovation are key to future economic growth. Digital assets and crypto currency both play an important role.
  • As the world changes, this important industry lacks the regulatory and tax structure to be successful and is consistently put at a disadvantage.
  • John has been proud to support these industries in Congress, and will continue to work hard to make sure those in Silicon Slopes and throughout Utah have the certainty from the government they need. He will continue this critical work in the Senate.[6]

2017

The following issues are listed on Curtis' campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Working for You: It’s far past time for the dysfunction in our Capitol to end. The People’s work is not being done. There are admittedly very difficult decisions to make, decisions that may end up costing a politician his or her political career. All too often 'having a seat at the table' is more important than doing the right thing. I recognize that if elected I would only be one voice, but we have proven something in Provo. Our voice can change things when it's genuine, innovative, and civil. Together we can change everything.
  • Balancing the Budget and Cutting Spending: As mayor of Provo I delivered a balanced budget every year. In my first year as mayor, we reduced the city budget by $5.5 million with the full support of city leaders. By increasing efficiency and innovation we decreased the number of city employees per capita while maintaining quality service to our citizens. As a businessman responsible for tens of millions in sales and hundreds of employees, I know how to create a budget and stick to it by making cuts if necessary.
  • Getting Public Lands Right: Even when we get to a desirable outcome if the process that gets us there is bad, we usually end up feeling cheated. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Utahns are upset with a president who skips public involvement and abuses a federal loophole to force his way. I am committed to working with our federal delegation to overhaul the current broken and politicized process and find a path to protect our natural beauty with transparency and key shareholder involvement.
  • Making Tax Reform a Reality: Plain and simple, we tax too much and our tax code is too complicated. To be clear on where I stand, let me say that again; we tax too much and our tax code is too complicated. Our tax system hurts American citizens, businesses and society as a whole. With Republicans controlling the House, Senate, and Presidency, we have a precious opportunity to create a simpler and fairer tax code. We had this opportunity before as Republicans and wasted it. It will take some out-of-the-box ideas, courage and leadership but we cannot let this opportunity slip through our fingers again.
  • Improving Healthcare: The reality is that we have not had a free market healthcare system for many decades. Government involvement and regulation has distorted the market for a very long time and it is unrealistic to say we are going to roll everything back in the next four years. It’s a fact—Republicans weren’t ready when we got our chance to fix the problem. Frankly, I am frustrated and embarrassed that Congress had eight years to figure out how to repeal or fix Obamacare and they didn’t have their answer ready. Skyrocketing healthcare costs and lack of access are issues we cannot ignore, and the answer will come with more portability, flexibility, and transparency. It is time Congress got past trying to score political points and on to meaningful solutions for everyday Americans.[6]
