Christopher Reed on Government Reform Republican challenger

Washington is broken & can't be fixed by European socialism

A: The stump message is that Washington is broken. It can't be fixed by sending the same man back with his out of control spending, his socialized plans for America. This is the freest, greatest country God has ever put on the face of the Earth and it was made that way by people coming across the ocean from Europe to settle a new country, to be entrepreneurs, to be free. We don't need policies and plans that take us back to European socialism.

Target spending earmarks one bit at a time

Reed also wants to limit troop deployments. He served in the US Navy, and said frequent deployments hurt morale and combat readiness as badly as any other factor.

Reed has never served in political office. He sees that as an advantage.
