Mitch Richards was a 2012 Republican candidate for District 47 of the Missouri House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

Richards' website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]

Jobs and the Economy

  • Excerpt: "Businesses will flourish and entrepreneurs will innovate if we simply allow them to do so. To create more jobs the answer is simple: less government, more liberty."

Taxes

  • Excerpt: "We cannot ask the people of Missouri to pay more of their hard-earned income into government coffers. We need elected officials who are willing to make cuts when necessary."

Government Openness and Accountability

  • Excerpt: "Those who serve in government ought to be held to a high standard. Corruption weakens public trust in government and should not be tolerated."

2nd Amendment and Property Rights

  • Excerpt: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The right to security and privacy in one’s home is a basic human right which government is duty-bound to respect."

Economic and Civil Liberties

  • Excerpt: "It is the duty of all Constitutional Conservatives to uphold and defend all Ten Amendments, all the time, and for all individuals even when it is not easy nor politically expedient."
