David LaPointe was a 2016 Republican candidate for District 63 of the Connecticut House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

LaPointe's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Taxes

  • Connecticut taxes are too high, we are losing businesses and families who have decided to move out of CT. I will work to lower taxes, debt and spending when elected to the legislature. This will be top priority.

The Right to Self-Defense

  • I have sworn to support and defend this Right. The right to possess arms is a fundamental right. This right is guaranteed in the Second Amendment, which states that " a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Contrary to popular political beliefs, the basic right to possess a gun serves the function in our society: self defense.

Family

  • I will work to promote healthy marriages as the best, most effective way to grow a stable society in Connecticut. I will work for a culture that makes it easy for families to stay together and flourish, children to grow into contributing members of society, and reduced necessity for government involvement.

Sanctuary cities

  • I'm against sanctuary cities. This is simply supportive of the rule-of-law. I will sponsor legislation in CT. which will outlaw sanctuary cities by prohibiting local governments from restricting law enforcement from making immigration status inquiries of people they stop or arrest.

Pro-life

  • I'm against abortion, period. I will Protect and Defend Innocent babies. I will support a parental consent law in Connecticut similar to laws protecting minors in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Connecticut is one of only a handful of states that does not require some form of notification to a parent or guardian by minors before getting an abortion.[1]
