Campaign website

Lewis' campaign website stated the following:

“

In Congress, Jason was honored to help pass historic tax cuts and regulatory reform to improve the nation’s economy and spur jobs and wages. While serving on the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, he focused on robust infrastructure development while working to reform the Met Council to ensure they have locally elected members on their boards just like other planning agencies.

Congressman Lewis was integral in getting landmark Career and Technical Education (CTE) legislation passed with his amendment supporting dual-enrollment opportunities for students to get a jump start on their careers. On the Budget Committee, he prioritized tax and spending cuts with a return to fiscal responsibility by supporting budget resolutions that included across the board spending reductions and balanced within 10 years.

And Jason quickly became a leading Republican voice calling for criminal justice reform and authored the Juvenile Justice Reform Act of 2018 which passed Congress and was signed into law by President Trump.

His was a record of accomplishment, but there’s much more to Jason than all of that.

His grandfather—with just an 8th grade education—started a successful enterprise lasting 50 years in the industrial and automotive aftermarket. Lewis Motor Supply, Inc. became a family tradition when Jason’s father took over the business and a third generation business when Jason took the helm along with his two sisters.

Unfortunately, the government had other ideas. In the mid-80s, the family warehouse was targeted for a highway project under the power of eminent domain. After negotiations with government agencies failed to produce a price the family thought adequate for rebuilding, Jason faced the difficult decision of closing a profitable business and eliminating a substantial number of jobs.

Lesson learned.

You see, Jason has spent a lifetime in the private sector whether his family business or a 25 year broadcasting career. It is this experience that taught him the importance of living within your means; how government often gets in the way of progress; and why a productive job is the most important social program of all.[49]

”
—Jason Lewis' campaign website (2020)[50]


2018

Campaign website

Lewis' campaign website stated the following:

“

Promises Made, Promises Kept
In 2016, Jason Lewis ran for Congress to reduce our nation’s out of control spending, lower the tax burden on middle-class Minnesota families, and defend our freedoms and liberties. Since taking office, Lewis has successfully fulfilled these campaign promises and more.

During his first term in Congress, Lewis has been a strong, independent voice and worked with his colleagues on both side of the aisle on major reforms to better the future of Minnesota and the country.

Focusing on our economy
Lewis supported more than a dozen Congressional Review Act resolutions rolling back burdensome, duplicative, and unnecessary big-government rules, saving over 4.2 million hours of unnecessary paperwork and $3.7 billion in regulatory costs. Congressman Lewis introduced the REG Act to ensure executive agency guidance documents making significant and burdensome policy changes receive Congressional oversight and public comment. As a member of Budget Committee, Lewis was integral in passing tax reform to jump start our economy and let Americans keep more of their hard-earned money.

Putting Minnesota First
Lewis led efforts to increase Career & Technical Education (CTE) training and funding. Lewis successfully authored and passed a ‘dual enrollment’ amendment to reduce college costs for families by encouraging students to gain higher education credits while in high school. Additionally, Congressman Lewis offered an amendment to the appropriations bill to increase funding for CTE State Grants by reallocating funding. Congressman Lewis was the Republican sponsor of a bipartisan bill which was signed into law and will restore local planning authority by repealing an Obama administration rule that expanded the authority of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) like the Met Council.

Fixing our Justice System
Lewis introduced the Juvenile Justice Reform Act, with Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), which passed the House. This legislation will give troubled young people a second chance, improve accountability of taxpayer dollars and eliminate duplicative grant programs. Additionally, Congressman Lewis joined Rep. Scott to also introduce the SAFE Justice Act to make comprehensive reforms to our criminal justice system by reducing the number of federal crimes, returning power to local authorities, and encouraging the use of evidence-based strategies for reducing recidivism. Lewis also cosponsored the Second Chance Reauthorization Act to help states and communities reduce recidivism and improve outcomes for adults and youth released from prison.

Defending our Rights and Liberties
Congressman Lewis introduced the Drone Innovation Act which protects the 10th Amendment and seeks a balance between state & local control and national airspace in this emerging technology. As a Member of the 4th Amendment Caucus, Lewis has worked to advance policies that protect citizens’ rights against warrantless search & seizures and privacy violations. Lewis opposed attempts to grant a sweeping and full re-authorization of FISA without serious reforms to ensure that federal agencies are not violating American constitutional rights. Lewis also cosponsored legislation that will protect Minnesota’s right to regulate and allow medical marijuana and the ability of patients to access it for medical treatments. Importantly, it will allow marijuana to be further researched in regards to its safety and effectiveness as a medical treatment.

Protecting our Tax Dollars
Lewis introduced the Defense Spending Accountability Act to reduce the salary of top DOD officials if the Pentagon didn’t meet audit deadlines; ultimately resulting in the Pentagon beginning their first audit. Congressman Lewis also cosponsored a bipartisan amendment to cut the $28.6 billion National Defense Restoration Fund, a new unaccountable slush fund for the military, and put it towards deficit reduction. Lewis also voted in opposition to the bloated FY17 Consolidated Appropriations Act (Omnibus Bill) providing $1.163 trillion to fund discretionary programs within the federal government, an increase of $14 billion from previous spending levels.

Campaign website

The following issues were listed on Lewis' campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“
  • Jobs and Economy: You can’t tax and spend your way out of a tax and spend crisis. Moreover, overregulation is hampering business growth and stifling job creation... It’s time to get our economy working for all Americans, and that means making work pay again. It means encouraging capital formation right here at home instead of abroad. It means an end to substituting bailouts for bankruptcy for the well connected and instead unleashing the real engine of economic growth: small and medium-size businesses.
  • Reforming the Tax Code: Today’s IRS code–filled with loopholes and tax credits for every conceivable special interest–has over four million words...We need a flatter and fairer tax code that not only treats everyone the same, but encourages work, savings, and investment.
  • Education: Let’s not put our children on an education assembly line with one-size fits all bureaucratic testing. We need real changes–such as merit pay, collective-bargaining reform, seniority rules changes, and school choice–in order to best serve our children.
  • Terrorism and Borders: The only way to keep our homeland safe, along with slowing the influx of criminals and drugs, is to enforce the laws on the books and secure the border. Further, the fiscal cost of unlawful immigration is simply unsustainable.
  • Healthcare: Empowering healthcare consumers should be issue one for any representative. And we do that by undoing the costly ACA ‘essential health benefits,’ allowing individuals to buy policies across state lines, and enacting true portability by changing the tax code.

On October 2, 2020, Lewis announced that he would self-quarantine after flying on Air Force One with President Donald Trump (R), who later tested positive for the coronavirus. Lewis said he would seek a coronavirus test.[52]

The Jason Lewis Show

Comments Lewis made in 2012 about women and race were discussed in several articles and criticized by Democratic rival Angie Craig (D) in July 2018. On his radio show, "The Jason Lewis Show," Lewis said, "Now, are we beyond those days where a woman can behave as a slut, but you can’t call her a slut?”[53] In another segment, Lewis said, "There's a cultural problem in the African-American community that is leading to [violence]. The entitlement mentality."[54]

Craig called the comments disappointing. "Our leaders are role models for our kids and must hold themselves to that standard," she said.[53]

The Lewis campaign released the following statement: “This has all been litigated before, and as Rep. Lewis has said time and time again, it was his job to be provocative while on the radio.”[55]
