Tom Cotton political views

Excerpt: “As an Army officer, I took an oath of office to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and I administered that oath to many soldiers. I will proudly take the same oath as your congressman…”

romote Job Creation

Excerpt: “Beware of politicians who promise to create jobs, because only businesses and entrepreneurs—not politicians—can create jobs.”

Stop the Spending and Cut the Debt

Excerpt: “Our country faces a debt crisis because of Washington’s reckless spending and borrowing. The federal debt is now $15 trillion, the size of the entire American economy.”

Reduce and Simplify Taxes

Excerpt: “Our taxes are too high and too complicated. The individual and corporate tax codes distort the financial decisions of individuals and businesses, leading them to base spending, investment, and saving on tax considerations, not economic benefits.”

Repeal and Replace ObamaCare

Excerpt: “ObamaCare is a job-killer, a health-care disaster, and an assault on liberty. I will fight to repeal and replace ObamaCare with free-market reforms that empower patients and doctors to make health-care decisions.”

Secure Energy Independence

Excerpt: “America has the world’s largest fossil-fuel reserves in the world. I view our fossil fuels as a valuable asset to be used, not an embarrassing liability to be restrained. In Congress, I will support policies that unleash our energy producers, put America on the path to energy independence, and reduce our dependence on unreliable and hostile countries.”

Protect National Security

Excerpt: “The foremost responsibility of the federal government is to provide for the common defense.”

Secure the Border and Enforce Immigration Laws

Excerpt: “America is a nation of immigrants, but it is also a nation of laws. Our federal government is failing at a core duty: protecting our borders and enforcing our immigration laws. In Congress, I will oppose amnesty in all forms, fight to secure our borders, and improve enforcement of the immigration laws.”

Promote Parental and Local Control in Education

Excerpt: “In Congress, I will work to empower parents with better information and more options to make the right choices for their children’s education and I will work to restore local control over our educational system.”

Uphold the Second Amendment

Excerpt: “I will always defend our Second Amendment rights in Congress. As a combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, my soldiers and I kept our rifles and guns within arms’ reach because of a fundamental truth: at critical moments, your life depends on being armed and ready to defend yourself.”

Defend Traditional Values

Excerpt: “Strong families are the cornerstones of a strong, free, and prosperous country. As your congressman, I will work to strengthen families and I will stand up for the traditional values I learned growing up on my family’s farm.”

Honor Veterans

Excerpt: “I understand personally the sacrifices of our veterans and I will always ensure that we honor their service and patriotism.”
