Jim Lamon in Survey of 2021 Senate campaign websites
On Abortion:
I will support our unalienable Right to Life
I believe that America is a good and gracious country. I firmly believe in the ideals laid out by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence, and I've always taken my oath to Protect and Defend the Constitution very seriously.
As your Senator I will support free speech, the 2nd Amendment, and our unalienable Right to Life.

On Education:
I will sponsor a nationwide Right to School Choice
Teachers' union bosses and the Department of Education are failing our kids. Far too many children have had their education possibilities limited by their socioeconomic status. All children deserve a chance to have a bright future, and every parent
deserves the right to choose the best educational environment for their child. I will sponsor a nationwide Right to School Choice to empower parents and give children from all backgrounds the opportunity to receive an excellent education.

On Energy & Oil:
Against Green New Deal, for natural gas and solar
A Fortune 500 executive with more than 30 years' experience in the engineering and construction of large-scale power plants, Jim Lamon is the Founder and Chairman of DEPCOM Power, headquartered in Arizona. Responsible for creating 1,600 jobs across
the country, DEPCOM is one of the fastest-growing solar power companies in the U.S. and was ranked the fifth fastest-growing private company in the U.S. by Inc. 5000 in 2018.
American energy independence is essential to our national security and prosperity. From 20 years working in the coal and natural gas power industry, to founding one of our country's fastest-growing solar companies, I know what it takes to power
America. Instead of pursuing socialists' Green New Deal, I will sponsor energy policy that benefits American workers, businesses, ratepayers, and our environment by prioritizing a low-cost blend of clean natural gas and solar.

On Free Trade:
Level the playing field, no goods from cheap slave labor
Relying on China for our raw materials and manufacturing has become a national security issue. For decades, China has used unfair trade deals to steal intellectual property, damage our businesses, and steal American jobs.
I will fight to level the international playing field for American workers and businesses by ensuring that goods coming into the U.S. are not made with cheap slave labor, unfettered environmental pollution, and unsafe working conditions.

On Government Reform:
Excessive regulations stifles American innovation
When it comes to jobs and economic growth, government is typically the problem, not the solution. From deciding what businesses are essential to imposing excessive regulations, government stifles American innovation, depresses wages, and hurts
American workers. I will reduce regulatory burdens on business and support policies that prioritize full employment for all American workers at good wages.

On Homeland Security:
Congress should stay out of micro-managing the military
As a veteran, I recognize the challenges our military men and women face. We must ensure they are trained and equipped to combat threats from our foreign enemies, especially the Communist Chinese Party. Congress should stay out of micro-managing
the military and stop the social experiments with our fighting forces. I will vote to focus our military might on protecting the homeland, putting a stop to the endless foreign wars that have cost us far too many American lives and tax dollars.

On Principles & Values:
An industry leader in pursuing "Made in America" policy
Jim is a veteran himself, having served six years as an Army Officer, with three of those in Germany during the Cold War, where he saw the stark difference between American freedom and Communist oppression. Jim's company is the industry leader in
pursuing a "Made in America" policy, with seventy percent (70%) of company dollars spent staying in America. In its first eight years, DEPCOM has spent more than $3 billion on American steel, electrical cable, and construction workers.

On Principles & Values:
Will donate salary; refuse pension; limit to two terms
Too many politicians have their best interests in mind, not yours. They are bought and paid for by lobbyists, answer to special interests, and fail to deliver for the taxpayer. The federal government must be focused and limited. As your Senator,
I will fight for our Constitution and answer only to you, the People of Arizona. I will lead by example, donating my salary to Arizonans in need, refusing the government pension, and committing to serving no more than two terms in the U.S. Senate.

On Tax Reform:
I will oppose any new or higher tax on Americans
Washington does not have a revenue problem; it has a spending problem. In the Senate I will fight to refocus the national budget, prioritizing essential departments that keep American citizens safe, secure, and prosperous. I will support reevaluating
government agency effectiveness, phasing out non-essential agencies, and making all government entities more accountable to the American taxpayer. I will sign the No New Taxes Pledge to oppose any new or higher tax on Americans.

On War & Peace:
Refocus military mission on China, our predominate adversary
As a candidate for the United States Senate from the great State of Arizona, Jim Lamon is dedicated to putting America First, just as he has done as a business leader. He will take on China, fight back against rampant theft of technology,
and work to level the playing field for our American manufacturers and workers. Jim will work to stop endless wars and deployments and refocus our military mission on China as our predominate adversary.
