Kelly Armstrong in Survey of 2018 House campaign websites


On Abortion: Supports Hyde Amendment & defunding of Planned Parenthood

Kelly believes that life is sacred and has been a defender of life at all stages. In Washington, he will work to finally pass the 20-week abortion ban and do all he can to promote the pro-life agenda. He supports the Hyde Amendment's ban on using federal funds for abortion and supports diverting funding from Planned Parenthood into Community Health Centers that do not perform or encourage abortion.

On Abortion: Ban abortion after 20 weeks

Kelly cosponsored the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Act. Together these bills would ban abortion after 20 weeks and would require a healthcare provide to provide care to any child who exhibits signs of life after an abortion procedure. He also co-sponsored the Life at Conception Act which affirms an unborn child's right to life under the 14th Amendment.

On Budget & Economy: When government gets out of way, economy grows

Over the course of the last few years, we have seen the true power of the American people. When government gets out of the way, our economy grows, our businesses thrive, and our people take home more money in their paychecks. But the fight in Washington is not over -- it is just beginning. By reducing the size of government, we can unleash the full potential of our citizens, create jobs, and let the people of this state do what they do best.

On Crime: Can't build enough prison cells to solve addiction problem

Addiction is an issue we need to confront head on. We cannot build enough prison cells to solve this problem. Kelly supports providing tools and treatment to make sure young addicts can become successful members of our society not better criminals, while still making sure we hold people accountable for their actions.

On Environment: Crack down on environmental extremist protesters

Kelly supported new rules to crack down on extremist protesters. The DAPL protests exposed some serious flaws in our century code and Kelly supported legislation that strengthened our laws and provided our law enforcement the tools they need to defend us against people who have no respect for our laws or our citizens. No longer will out-of-state environmental extremists get away with causing destruction and chaos in North Dakota.

On Government Reform: Require Congress to approve major regulations

The federal government has bloated to an unsustainable level. Even now Washington bureaucrats continue to pump out regulation that stifles business, infringes on our states' rights, and costs our taxpayers dearly. Kelly introduced the REINS Act which requires federal agencies to submit major regulations to Congress for approval and guarantees that no major regulation becomes effective until Congress approves it.

On Gun Control: Fought efforts to infringe on 2d amendment freedoms

On Health Care: Obamacare is an unmitigated disaster

Obamacare is an unmitigated disaster. The costs of this terrible policy are even worse in rural states. Providers are fleeing our markets and driving up healthcare costs on North Dakota families.

On Immigration: Secure our borders to end drugs & human trafficking

We have to once and for all secure our borders. This isn't about stopping immigration; this is about ending the flow of drugs and human trafficking along our southern borders. Kelly has supported President Trump's efforts to build a wall along the border with Mexico and has co-sponsored the Fix the Immigration Loopholes Act and the BOUND Act to help stop the flow of illegal immigrants, drugs and counterfeit merchandise across our borders.

On Technology: Sponsored large infrastructure bill in legislature

He was honored to sponsor the Surge funding bill which brought over a billion dollars in infrastructure spending. This historic legislation brought money to communities all across the state that were desperate for improvements to our roads, schools, water treatment plants, and other utilities. Never before had a bill of this magnitude been approved by our legislature so quickly. Communities have seen the infrastructure improvements that have enhanced lives and helped businesses grow.
