Campaign website
Fraser’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
JOE ON THE ISSUES Agriculture Farmers and those who work in the agriculture sector are responsible for feeding and fueling the world. We must support them. More importantly, just as we fight to protect our national interests, we must also emphasize the importance and security of our nation’s food supply chain. Economy We must focus on reducing government obstacles to job creation, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Education We must advocate for school choice policies, not a one-size-fits-all agenda that robs our children of their best opportunities to thrive and succeed in school and beyond. Mining & Energy Evolution We have an abundance of natural resources that can be harvested to protect our supply chain and create jobs. It’s time we unleash American energy and mining. National Security Our porous borders are rife with drug smuggling and human trafficking. Millions are entering our country illegally – including gang members and those on the terror watchlist. We must secure our borders and build a southern wall now. Public Safety We must fund our law enforcement organizations, get tougher on crime, and stop the radical anti-law enforcement rhetoric and agendas pursued by the left. Second Amendment It is paramount that we support and defend our Second Amendment right to bear arms.[2] |
