A: No federal gun-law reform is needed. I believe the Second Amendment is a crucial freedom for citizens to retain a republic. First and foremost, owning a weapon allows law-abiding citizens to protect their property. There are too many laws restricting law-abiding citizens from owning weapons. Criminals can get the guns they want no matter what laws are on the books.
A: Sanctuary cites are unconstitutional because cities do not have sovereignty; only the 50 states and the national government have that authority. Not only do these cities have increased crime and gang activity, they also economically hurt the most vulnerable of our citizens--low-skilled and inadequately educated people living in urban areas. There should not be a pathway to citizenship.
A: I support the tax cuts. To date, more American have seen an increase in their take-home income, which has allowed them to become more active consumers in the marketplace. The first quarter 2018 GDP growth is projected between 2.5 and 2.8 percent, which is moving in a healthy direction.
Campbell: I believe Every Life Matters. I am against Abortion and against Assisted Suicide.
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.
Campbell: I am not in favor of federal legalization of marijuana. However, I think marijuana does not need to be a schedule 1 drug. Our federal system allows for states to decide legality of marijuana within their borders. The Supreme Court has not decided to weigh-in on this issue yet. I am in favor of states making their own decisions at this point.
Campbell: The United States must secure its interest throughout the world without being overtaxed as the world's policeman. Our government must use its diplomatic, financial and military assets in the most effective way possible.
Campbell: When our veterans return home, we must ensure they receive the care they deserve.
Campbell: As a member of the United States Senate, the top priority must be on protecting America's interest domestically and globally. My top focus will be Securing America's infrastructure against foreign actors (cyber, energy and transportation).
