On Budget & Economy:
Cut costs, cut programs, get to a balanced budget
Durant explained that his biggest concerns when it came to the issues facing the country were rising inflation and increases to the national debt. "Raising the debt ceiling doesn't help that issue. I think holding fast on cutting costs,
cutting programs that are not value added that gets us to a balanced budget is absolutely something that is in the hands of Congress, and I would fight to do that," Durant said.

Radicals redefine American values with Critical Race Theory
Joe Biden starts making bad decisions from the moment he wakes up in the morning. Mike has watched as Joe Biden has been asleep at the switch deserting our core principles--abandoning our allies, even American citizens, in Afghanistan; cowering to the
influence of the Chinese as they evade responsibility for the China Virus; or letting the radical left re-define our core American values through things like Critical Race Theory.

On Education:
Reinforce Christian values in schools
All three GOP candidates for Alabama's open U.S. Senate seat voiced support for Alabama's recent passage of legislation involving LGBT issues, including an amendment modeled on Florida's so called "Don't Say Gay" bill.Both Katie Britt and candidate
Mike Durant, a former Army helicopter pilot, said they support the Alabama legislation as a reinforcement of Christian values in schools.
A spokesperson replied on behalf of Durant, telling AL.com that the words, "anti-trans" are the language of liberal indoctrination. "The liberal media would love nothing more than to indoctrinate our youth with woke ideology,
tell seven-year-old children to explore their 'gender identity,' and encourage kids on the playground to ask each other what their pronouns are," said a campaign spokesperson.
