On Abortion: Subsidizing abortion undermines dignity of mother and child

Our respect for life is the most important measure of our humanity. From conception to death--and any time in between--life is precious and we have a responsibility to protect it. A culture that subsidizes abortion on demand runs counter to the fundamental American belief in the potential of every person--it undermines the dignity of mother and child alike. Americans can and should work together to increase support and resources to reduce unintended pregnancies and encourage adoption, even if they may have different opinions on abortion rights.

On Education: Replace failing education system with local control

Local control, expanded opportunity and a return to fundamentals are vital to reforming our failing education system. The markets and economies of the future will require more than one-size-fits-all curricula, and we must expand opportunity for every student by providing more options for the charter and magnet schools which bring out the best in our kids. We should eliminate Federal Common Core mandates that take power out of the hands of teachers. Source: 2016 presidential campaign website EvanMcMullin.com Aug 12, 2016

On Energy & Oil: Expand domestic energy production across the board

America is on the road to becoming the world's energy superpower, while protecting our natural resources for future generations. We are blessed with a unique abundance of resources that provide an opportunity for energy independence, prosperity and security. We must expand domestic energy production across the board, including natural gas, oil, nuclear, and renewables. Source: 2016 presidential campaign website EvanMcMullin.com Aug 12, 2016

On Foreign Policy: American leadership instead of withdrawing from the world

Withdrawing from the world makes us less safe, not more. Without American leadership, the cause of liberty at home and abroad suffers, global instability increases and threats to the homeland multiply. America should foster the values of respect for human rights, national sovereignty and strong alliances that make the world more prosperous and stable.

On Free Trade: Negotiate stronger trade deals but don't close doors

America prospers when we compete globally. Almost 95 percent of the world's consumers live beyond our borders, and greater access to those markets helps create American jobs. We should negotiate stronger trade deals and enforce the terms of existing agreements to ensure fair competition globally. Closing doors to trade opportunities won't bring back jobs, but it will make life for everyday Americans more expensive, and reduce our ability to sell our goods around the world.

On Government Reform: Too much power in Washington and in Executive branch

A healthy government is accountable to its people. There is too much power in Washington, centered too far away from the lives of everyday Americans. An all-powerful government centered in Washington has eroded the separation of powers in a way that is corrosive to our Republic and our Constitution. The Executive Branch now routinely creates major rules and regulations that have the force of law, adjudicates disputes, and issues fines--all on its own. Article I of the Constitution clearly states that all legislative powers belong to the people's representatives in Congress. Power should be shifted back to the States where it is closer to the people to whom it belongs. Source: 2016 presidential campaign website EvanMcMullin.com Aug 12, 2016

On Gun Control: Fundamental right is enshrined in the Second Amendment

Americans' fundamental right to protect our families and communities is enshrined in the Second Amendment. The acts of criminals, terrorists and the mentally ill require serious and consistent national efforts to combat them, and we can and must address those challenges without ever compromising the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.

On Health Care: ObamaCare has driven up costs and reduced access

ObamaCare has failed American families, driving up costs and reducing access to far too many. With competition, deregulation and innovation we can build a modern health care system that delivers accessible, affordable and high-quality care. Vulnerable populations, including patients with preexisting conditions, should be protected. Real healthcare reform means putting patients, families, and doctors at the heart of health care.

On Homeland Security: Free America requires strongest in the world

A free America requires the strongest and most capable military and intelligence infrastructure in the world. The bravery and commitment of our men and women in uniform is unquestioned; we need to provide them the technology, training, and support to defeat the threats of today and secure our nation in the future. Source: 2016 presidential campaign website EvanMcMullin.com Aug 12, 2016

On Immigration: Secure our borders and enforce our laws

Our immigration system must secure our borders and enforce our laws as a basic matter of national security and rule of law. Once our borders are secure, we can begin a national debate on developing a system where law-abiding people can seek a path to legal residence and in some cases citizenship. Our immigration policies should give preference to people who bring unique skills, innovative ideas, technologies and companies to our country.

On Tax Reform: Tax code should be lean, simple, and pro-investment

America should be the best place in the world for innovation, entrepreneurship and opportunity. We must reform a system that too often benefits the politically connected and the corporate elite, while leaving too many Americans behind. Our tax code should be lean, simple and encourage investment here at home. Government regulations should be reduced to foster a dynamic economy.

On Welfare & Poverty: More government poverty programs aren't the single answer

Nearly 50 million Americans live below the poverty line, and millions more struggle just to get by. While America is a compassionate nation, more government programs aren't the single answer to addressing the least fortunate. Those who can work should have the opportunity to work, and those who need the training and education to become productive should receive it.
