2018 MD Senate race: on Budget & Economy

Tony Campbell: Mandate a balanced national budget and lower taxes

Q:Why are you running for office?

Campbell: I am running for the United States Senate to push an agenda of Equal Citizenship. Better schools controlled by well administered local education authorities instead of Common Core one size fit all national agendas. Promoting a culture of Success, not subsistence, where every Marylander has the opportunity to thrive. I will also work to lower taxes and mandate a balanced national budget.

Arvin Vohra: Free market and real growth is the answer

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Stimulus better than market-led recovery"?

A: Strongly oppose. Crony capitalism is not the answer; neither is welfare. The free market, which creates real jobs, real innovation, and real growth is the answer. If elected, I will work to end all corporate welfare, all welfare for the poor, and all middle-class welfare (e.g. government schools).

Arvin Vohra: Remove legal tender laws & stimulate the economy

When we eliminate legal tender laws, we allow Americans to spend money and accept payments in any form of currency they choose. This destroys the monopoly the Federal Reserve currently has, and abuses, on currency. When the Federal Reserve is not allowed to interfere, successful business practices will prevail, business cycles will be smoother, layoffs will be massively decreased, and the economy on the whole will prosper. I want to make this country fiscally responsible. Source: 2018 Maryland Senate campaign website VoteVohra.com Dec 12, 2017

Sam Faddis: Liberate the free enterprise system & economy will flourish

Q: What are the three main issues facing the voters in the State of Maryland that you intend to address and how?

Faddis: Jobs, the economy, and healthcare. Government shall create the conditions under which economic growth can occur and jobs can be created. Everything the government does should be laser-focused on that objective. We must eliminate unnecessary regulation to unleash the free enterprise system and stimulate economic growth.
