All of the
candidates are clearly Pro-life. Jackson St. Onge and Gabe Lacasse are the candidates
that have been the most direct in this area and Gabe has indicated specifically
that he will defund Planned Parenthood.
On the topic of
Terrorism, specifically Isis, all of the candidates are for continuing to fight
Isis and terrorism worldwide. Steven Gudek was the candidate that specifically
indicated that he felt expanding and strengthening our military was definitely
on his agenda. Jackson St. Onge also made a point of stating that he would
support increased training of our troops so they would be even more able to be
successful in this fight.
Each of the
candidates has his own ideas of how to improve our economy. Josh Mitchell
clearly feels that budget cuts will be necessary and that a commitment to job
creation and growth is key to getting back on track. He indicated that he would
make a point of funding small business.
Gabe Lacasse has
made it clear that he would be going after the welfare programs in the country
and cutting them back severely. It is his intention to encourage all people
currently on welfare to begin to seek employment although he does not have a
strong platform on job creation. Gabe does have strong feelings about stopping
the borrowing of money from China and plans to slow that down and eventually
stop this practice.
Stephen Gudek
proposes a lower tax rate for everybody. He and the other candidates have also
mentioned that they would lower gas prices although they do not agree on the price
each one would drop it to. Stephen also supports funding small business but
unlike Joshua Mitchell, he would pick and choose which ones he funded and that
the criteria for choosing would be how much of a help they were to America. Joshua Mitchell is the candidate that has
indicated most clearly that he will reduce the size of government if elected.
On the topic of
immigration, the candidates are split. Josh Mitchell and Gabe Lacasse are for a
wall between Mexico and America. Stephen Gudek still flip flops on whether he
would or would not support one and Jackson St. Onge has said loud and clear
that he does not support a wall as a means to control immigration.
All of the
candidates support stricter control of prescription drugs.
In terms of the
second amendment Josh Mitchell is the most vocal supporter and Gabe Lacasse
certainly supports the right to bear arms and carry concealed weapons. Stephen
is definitely against carrying concealed weapons for safety reasons.
All candidates
are in favor of teaching Christianity in schools but Gabe Lacasse did indicate
that he would support the rights of Americans to choose the religion they
wanted to follow.
Finally, Gabe
Lacasse has stated several times that he will abolish Obamacare. Stephen Gudek
indicated that the environment and the abolishing of the Common Core would also
be priorities.
