Haneefah Khaaliq:
Strengthen Endangered Species Act, phase out zoos
I love animals. Period. Animals are a part of the moral circle. I will work with experts in the field to produce legislation that strengthens the Endangered Species Act and helps protect all animals from abuse and cruelty.
I will immediately begin work on creating and passing legislation that phases out zoos and converts them to sanctuaries and/or habitats identical to animals' natural habitats. They must convert now.

Gary Black:
I've protected our farmers from crushing regulations
Agriculture makes life better for every Georgian. It's our number one industry, contributing more than $70 billion to our economy every single year. As Agriculture Commissioner, I've protected our farmers from crushing regulations and dedicated myself
to securing prosperity for the next generation of Georgia farmers, farm families, agribusiness employers and, as a result, all Georgians. And that's what I'm going to keep doing in the U.S. Senate.

Kerry McQuisten:
Family lived off the grid and worked the land
I'm proud to be a seventh-generation Oregonian. My grandparents, parents, sister and I lived off the grid and worked the land. I remember when my grandparents bought a Pelton wheel for the creek to generate electricity.
When the creek ran dry, as it did most Augusts, we relied on the diesel generator. My childhood taught me to be self-sufficient and independent, and it taught me that our farmers, ranchers, miners and loggers are the best possible stewards of the land.

Blake Masters:
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.

James Lankford:
Rural restrictions shows arrogance from city dwellers
It is essential to help negotiate trade agreements with markets around the world while protecting our farms and ranches from tariffs. Federal burdens like fuel tank storage restrictions, the endangered species act, grain storage inspections on family
farms, interstate farm truck rules, dust particulate regulations and youth labor restrictions show an arrogance of power from Federal officials who spend their life on concrete should not dictate to families who live their lives on the land.
The solution to over-regulation is to return oversight to the states. Government works best when it is local and accessible. The farther decisions are made from an individual, the more you are just a number, not a neighbor. We can all agree that federal
regulators moving into a neighborhood to tell our families that we cannot work together violates everything about our core American freedom and values. Continued uncertainty and central planning will stifle our economic development as a nation.
