In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Cut taxes, spending, and regulations: My goal is to return as much power as possible from DC to states, cities, and most of all individual citizens. I believe this is best path to avoiding authoritarian rule from DC, breakup of the United States, or civil war. With the states free to provide as much or as little as the residents prefer, Americans free to vote with their feet, to states whose share their values.”
