Campaign themes
2016
Carnohan's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Curb Illegal Immigration: Texas must be honest with its priorities: We are a nation based on the rule of law. Equal rights for all Americans – but not for outsiders who broke our laws to even get here. American jobs should be filled by American workers/taxpayers so they too can be productive and live in the America we know and love. So how do we replace illegals in the workplace with Americans? It isn’t inhumane or even difficult: Require E-Verify, ban sanctuary cities, & eliminate all benefits to illegal immigrants, including welfare and in-state tuition. Illegal criminals? That’s even easier: Deport them ASAP! Localize Education: Parents should be free to choose among a multitude of education options for their kids. I’ll fight for local control against Common Core and other federal or state mandates. Restore Our Values:
