The following issue statements were found on Chamberlin's campaign website. For a full list of issue statements, click here.

Committee Advisory Plan
We must represent the people, but first we must listen!

We can accomplish this by setting up a volunteer committee comprised of all walks of life, to help represent the people. Those people, working hand in hand with the various appointed cabinet members, would help advise me on current issues. We must always keep the best interest and the rights of the peoples at the forefront of any action. We are responsible to ensure that their Liberty, and constitutional rights, are always protected.

After all it’s the People of the Great state of Minnesota that win if we work together!

Local Government Aid (LGA)
Local Government Aid, A program created by the state of Minnesota in 1971, with the purpose of helping smaller municipalities provide necessary services like, emergency management, police, fire, and rescue has been abused by many different larger cities, while the smaller cities still suffer. A lot of the larger cities have been using these funds between park board, municipal building commissions, and beautifying their city, instead of the intended purpose.

Providing assistance for sustaining necessary services is highly important. The misuse of these funds needs to end! This is something I am passionate about and I will address it. We need to re-design the LGA program so that it benefits our state, instead of burdens our smaller cities.

Addressing the Judicial System
As Governor, I will work to address many issues in the Minnesota judicial system.

Many citizens who have been involved in the Minnesota judicial system have paid life sentences by being entrapped into a corrupt judicial system targeted at ensnaring them for life. We will look at everything from unconstitutional sentencing guidelines to unconstitutional criminal charges.

There are certain officials within the Minnesota judicial system who use department resources for personal and this must stop!

Elected officials, judges, and police officers will be held to a higher standard, as they are supposed to be role models that set the example for people to follow the law! If we in America follow the rule of law, then our elected officials judges and police officers must as well!

The violation of the Rights, and Liberties of the citizens of Minnesota will come to an end![3]

—Christopher William Chamberlin[4]
