On Energy & Oil: When facts are laid out, it's clear coal is not coming back

The CEO of Depcom Power spent decades constructing the coal-fired power plants Trump likes to tout. But Lamon saw that coal's future was bleak, and he switched to building solar power plants. The Trump Administration is weighing a tariff on solar panel imports. A defeat for solar imports would likely be only a pyrrhic victory for the Trump Administration. "We want American energy dominance," says Lamon. But "when the facts are laid out, it's kind of comes to light why coal is not coming back."

On Free Trade: Tariff goods coming from China, India and other countries

Tariff the goods coming from China, India and other countries: This will apply to those who do not comply with the pollution control, workplace safety rules and reasonable wages that American businesses support. The tariff payments will go directly to an Investment Tax Fund to be used to bring manufacturing back to America. The resulting increase in good-paying jobs will produce bountiful additional tax revenues.

On Government Reform: Supported Arizona audit of 2020 election votes

Lamon spoke favorably of an ongoing hand recount of votes and review of voting equipment in Maricopa County on behalf of the state Senate. "I will honor the result either way," Lamon said. "But I just believe there is too many people with too many questions that it is not that difficult for us as a nation to heal that wound and find out."

On Government Reform: Signed pledge to support term limits on Congress

U.S. Term Limits, the leader in the non-partisan movement to limit terms for elected officials, praises Jim Lamon, for signing the pledge for an amendment to term limit Congress. The U.S. Term Limits amendment pledge is provided to every announced candidate for federal office. It reads, "I pledge that as a member of Congress, I will cosponsor and vote for the U.S. Term Limits amendment of three (3) House terms and two (2) Senate terms and no longer limit."

On Government Reform: Signed document falsely claiming to be presidential elector

A U.S. Senate candidate who was one of 11 Arizona Republicans who signed a document falsely claiming he was authorized to cast the state's electoral votes for President Donald Trump said in an interview that the document was only a contingency plan. Jim Lamon, who signed the document making the false claim on Dec. 14, 2020, said he understood he was only asserting himself as one of Arizona's official electors in case the results were decertified.

On Government Reform: Congress must continue to cut taxes and needless regulation

When it comes to jobs and economic growth, government is usually 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. Congress must continue to cut taxes and needless regulation to encourage economic growth and help working people and their families.

On Gun Control: I will support free speech, the 2nd Amendment

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 always took my military oath to Protect and Defend the Constitution very seriously. As your Senator I will support free speech, the 2nd Amendment, and every person's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

On Immigration: United States should not accept Afghan refugees

The United States should not accept Afghan refugees, including translators and others who helped the American military during the 20-year war, Lamon said, staking out a hardline stance against a group of immigrants that has had widespread support from both parties. "They should go to countries that are friendly to them and us," Lamon said. "We cannot continue to be the world's refugee camp."

On Immigration: Rescind all Chinese Visas, end birthright citizenship

    I will work to achieve three major objectives in the US Senate regarding Border Control:
  1. Stop the inflow of illegal immigrants:
  2. Resolve the issue of illegal residents:
  3. Stop the importation of "allies of convenience" with promises of citizenship, like the chaotic Afghan evacuation.

On Principles & Values: AdWatch: shootout with Biden, Pelosi, Kelly

Lamon's latest campaign ad takes on "the D.C. Gang," telling them, "The good people of Arizona have had enough of you." Actors play President Biden (labeled in the ad as "Old Joe"), Senator Mark Kelly ("Shifty Kelly") and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ("Crazyface Pelosi"). The clip shows Lamon shooting at the three, knocking their guns or knives out of their hands as people in the background cheer and the "D.C. Gang" runs away.

The ad is being widely criticized. Sen. Kelly is the husband of former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. Giffords was seriously wounded during a mass shooting in Tucson in 2011 when six people were killed. Mark Kelly's Senate campaign declined comment.

ABC15 is hearing from viewers who have seen the ad and want us to stop running it. Federal law requires broadcasters to accept candidates' political ads regardless of the content; television stations are not allowed to reject or censor them.

On Principles & Values: Our rights don't come from government, they come from God

The idea of America rests on the principles that we are free from government and not because of government. Meaning our rights cannot be taken by the government because they do not come from government. Instead, they come from God. As your next U.S. Senator, I will lead by these principles. I will stand against any attempts to encroach upon our freedoms with firm resolve.

On Social Security: Give workers the option of Universal Savings Accounts

On War & Peace: Congress should have a say in the decision to go to war

As a veteran, I know that the choosing to send our troops to war is a weighty one. The ability for Congress to oversee matters of war and peace has been steadily eroding over time. I believe that Congress should have a say in the decision to go to war and stay at war. This will hold members of Congress responsible for the endless amounts of troops and money we send and spend every time we enter a conflict.
