Blake Masters in Survey of 2021 Senate campaign websites

On Crime: A society that permits mass lawlessness is doomed

A society that permits mass lawlessness is doomed. We are on that path. Crime is through the roof, police are under attack across the country, and politicians and journalists dismiss deadly mob violence as "mostly peaceful protests." Anyone who breaks the law should be arrested and tried and sentenced. It's time to get serious, so that Americans can go about their lives knowing they're safe and secure.

On Education: Support school choice in all its forms

We need to stand up to teachers' unions, support school choice in all its forms, and defend homeschoolers. School should be useful--what happened to shop and home economics? And don't get me started on higher ed. Most colleges are rackets that should be held accountable for their poor results. We need a system that empowers parents, encourages kids to think for themselves, and puts an end to the political brainwashing.

On Energy & Oil: We need diverse energy, from fossil fuels to nuclear

The last thing we want is to be "low energy." We need a diverse and robust portfolio of energy production-- everything from fossil fuels and fracking to renewables like geothermal and nuclear energy. Source: 2021 Arizona Senate campaign website BlakeMasters.com Jul 19, 2021

On Environment: Man is called to fill the earth and subdue it

The Left takes an anti-human view, pitting a fictional pristine "environment" against civilization. Actually, man is called to fill the earth and subdue it. We should wisely use our natural resources for our own long-term benefit. Let's get past substanceless slogans ("Believe in Science!") and talk about the concrete goals all Americans can get behind: reducing pollution, expanding natural protected lands, and being smart with our scarce resources.

On Foreign Policy: Tough on China, don't try to export democracy

The American people have made clear that we need to end our pointless interventions abroad and focus on our problems at home. Yet we remain entrenched in countless conflicts around the globe, with little to show for it. We need a foreign policy for this century: tough on actual threats like China, without trying to "export democracy" and remake other nations in our image.

On Free Trade: Need trade policies prioritizing American workers & industry

The Biden Administration is pushing "solutions" that will only make things worse: dumb regulations, massive tax hikes, and reckless spending. We need to ensure every citizen is trained for a well-paying job that suits them. We need healthcare that actually covers what we need it to cover, where people aren't one surprise medical bill away from bankruptcy. And President Trump was right to draw attention to bad trade deals; we need trade policies that prioritize American workers and industry.

On Gun Control: Strengthen and expand gun rights

The Bill of Rights is non-negotiable. We need laws that will protect human life and strengthen the rights guaranteed to all American citizens. Every day, we read about new legal and cultural attacks on our children, the right to bear arms, the free exercise of religion, and the freedom of speech and thought. We need to defend our families, expand gun rights, and take on the "big tech" platforms--the new public square where free speech is constantly under attack.

On Homeland Security: Ensure our military is world's most lethal fighting force

We also need to ensure that our military remains the world's most lethal fighting force, even if it means standing up to the bureaucratic National Security State and generals who would prioritize social issues like transgenderism in the enlisted ranks over actually winning wars.

On Immigration: Not clear we need a million new legal immigrants every year

We need to completely end illegal immigration using every tool at hand: physical walls, surveillance technology, thousands more border patrol agents, and mandatory E-Verify for employers. We need to rework our legal Immigration system. When so many already existing Americans are struggling, it's not clear that we need a million new legal immigrants every year. We must reform our heavily abused asylum system and rethink our foreign worker visa programs entirely. Source: 2021 Arizona Senate campaign website BlakeMasters.com Jul 19, 2021

On Principles & Values: Runs program paying people to quit college & start companies

Blake runs Thiel Capital, a multi-billion dollar firm that invests in new technology companies, and the Thiel Foundation, a nonprofit foundation that promotes science and innovation. The Foundation's Thiel Fellowship Program has paid 225 young people to drop out of college and instead create new companies, which are together now worth more than $45 billion. In 2014, Blake co-authored the #1 New York Times bestseller Zero to One, which sold more than three million copies. Source: 2021 Arizona Senate campaign website BlakeMasters.com Jul 19, 2021
