Madison Cawthorn in 2020 House elections

On Education: Supports school choice for parents

A: An important factor is enabling school choice in WNC. Parents ought to be able to decide where to send their kids to school. Secondly, school choice will increase competition among schools to attract students which will result in higher education standards across the board.

On Energy & Oil: Private sector key to becoming a clean energy exporter

A: I support efforts to become a net exporter of clean energy. I do support innovation and development and believe the private sector holds the answers to the energy issues we face.

On Environment: Top down federal agricultural regulations do not work

A: At this time I would not. Each different section of that industry has different needs and requirements, a top down, big government, Washington style approach would likely result in less efficiency and a decrease in overall waste management.

On Technology: Improving roads to connect rural residents a top priority

A: Improving the quality of our roads is a high priority, mountain roads represent lifelines to the communities they connect and their maintenance must come first. We also must work with state and local governments to increase access to affordable transportation, especially in our inner cities.
