Heather Johnson in Survey of 2014 Senate campaign websites
On Crime:
Don't punish victimless crimes like prostitution & gambling
I shall fight against any efforts to pass legislation and regulation of victimless crimes. Such "crimes" include speeding, drinking, no seat belts, drug use, prostitution, gambling, no helmets, or any other crime where no harm
is brought against another human or group of humans. All consensual acts, free from fraud, force, and coercion belong to the consenting individuals involved and do not fall into the domain of politics or government.

On Families & Children:
Politics is not my passion; it's my God, my kids & family
Seeing that our nation's founding principles of liberty and freedom from oppression are far from the reality in today's political landscape, I answered the call. I am not a career politician. It is not my primary goal in life nor my greatest passion.
My passion is my God, my kids and family, writing, friendship and my boyfriend, music, art, science, learning, dancing, and living every moment I have the way that I want to live, enjoying the fruits of my mind and labor the way I see fit.

On Government Reform:
Term limits for Congress, local officials, and judges
- I advocate term limits on Congress and limitations and elections for local, state, and federal judges including the Supreme Court.
- I advocate transparency and regular independent audits of government practices as well as the Federal
Reserve, answerable to the people, by the people, and for the people of these United States.
- I advocate the acknowledgement that juries do not have to uphold legislation in situations where they feel there just reason to ignore the law.

On Welfare & Poverty:
Regulate but advocate for independent charity
I advocate freedom of choice in government implemented and funded social programs and deregulation of private business and charity in order to boost economic and social community efforts for all citizens.
I advocate choice in business, an end to crony monopolies, an end to regulation and limitation of efforts for alternative forms of fuel, organic living, and sustainable housing practices.
So long as companies and charities whether privately funded or voluntarily publicly funded, do not infringe upon the natural rights of humans to their lives, liberties, and properties, I recognize that regulation is another form of force and coercion.
I advocate for independent charity and small business and recognize that government's only role within business and charity is to mediate and dispense justice in the event that a crime of fraud, force, or coercion occurs.
