Kathy Barnette in 2022 PA Senate race

On Abortion: I value all life, will promote alternatives to abortion

I value all life. Every person has the potential to do great things during their time on this earth. I will continue to promote alternatives to abortion and work to support parents to become independent and give their children opportunities to succeed.

On Budget & Economy: Incentivize investments in assets that generate real growth

We can't cut our way into growth. We can't spend our way into growth, as the current Administration is attempting to do. We can only grow our way into growth. This means revamping how we grow our economy and clarifying our monetary policies. Our economic policy must be one that incentivizes investments in those assets that generate real, sustainable, and significant growth--machinery, computers, trucks or any assets that increase production.

On Civil Rights: Critical Race Theory is evil race-based Marxism

CRT is evil. Race-based Marxism is making the long march through all of our institutions. Our children are being taught to hate each other based on their skin color. CRT will make America racist again. Instead of focusing on combat readiness and a sound exit strategy out of Afghanistan, our military leaders are focusing on so-called 'white rage.' This kind of neo-Jim Crow nonsense comes here with one purpose: to destroy American institutions and replace them. We cannot allow them to be successful.

On Education: Competition is the best way to ensure innovation

I believe parents know what is best for their child. I believe if given the chance to put their children into thriving academic environments most parents will choose to do just that. Competition is the best way to ensure innovation, to ensure more efficient ways of thinking and doing things, and it's the best way to ensure that our children's needs are always top of mind.

On Energy & Oil: Green New Deal will put millions of people out of work

Cheap + Plentiful + Reliable energy is a life and death issue. We cannot afford to "reimagine" our economy with a Green New Deal that will put millions of people out of work and make tens of millions of people poorer. Source: 2022 Pennsylvania Senate website BarnetteForSenate.com Feb 16, 2022

On Government Reform: 2020: Something horribly wrong took place in this election

Barnette echoes and has sometimes supported Trump's election fiction. She brought supporters with her to Washington for the Jan. 6 Trump rally that turned into a bloody attack on the Capitol. "Something horribly wrong took place in this election," she told a conservative podcaster days before the Capitol riot. "You might as well not run for dogcatcher in my county."

On Gun Control: I live the 2d Amendment, registered conceal carry holder

I don't just say I support the Second Amendment; I live it being a registered concealed carry holder since 2015. In the Senate, I will support legislation that creates reciprocity for concealed carry permits nationwide. Source: 2022 Pennsylvania Senate website BarnetteForSenate.com Feb 16, 2022

On Health Care: Don't force people through coercive mandates

Americans, with the advice of their medical professionals, must be able to make their own decisions as we face the continuation of the Corona Virus pandemic. Government forcing people through coercive mandates is not the solution. I trust Americans, if given good information, to make good, well-informed decisions for themselves and their family.

On Health Care: Remove stigmas associated with mental illness

For far too long we have tiptoed around mental illness and the impact it is having on our society. We must continue the conversation and explore ways to remove stigmas associated with mental illnesses and provide the love, support, and care that our struggling brothers and sisters so desperately need.

On Immigration: A merit-based immigration policy that puts Americans first

While securing our border is a critical part of immigration, our legal immigration policy is in serious need of an overhaul. America's immigration policy should focus on benefiting Americans, not multinational corporations. A merit-based immigration policy that puts Americans first will be a top priority when I get to the Senate. Source: 2022 Pennsylvania Senate website BarnetteForSenate.com Feb 16, 2022

On Technology: Break up monopolies colluding to censor unwanted speech

We have seen Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Assembly, Freedom to Petition and Freedom of the Press all come under assault. From the rise of big tech monopolies colluding with the government and the media to censor unwanted speech, to the demonizing of associations of particular groups of people. We need leaders who understand the threat and who are willing to take decisive action in breaking up these monopolies and holding our elected officials and bureaucrats accountable.
