2024 presidential campaign press release: on Government Reform


Perry Johnson: Opposes proposal to raise voting age to 25

Johnson released a statement criticizing Vivek Ramaswamy after he publicized his intent to raise the voting age from 18 to 25 years of age. Johnson said, "If you want to find an immediate way to alienate young voters, tell them they can't vote and tell 18- to 24-year-olds they are not adult citizens. Our focus needs to be on making sure we stop the indoctrination of our children with radical left-wing ideologies, not amending the Constitution to call more people children."

Asa Hutchinson: I will reduce the federal civilian workforce by 10%!

Too often, our businesses and families are held back by a federal bureaucracy that is out of control, heavy-handed and wasteful. As President, I will reduce the federal civilian workforce by 10%! You can believe me when I say I will do this because I have done it. In Arkansas, I reduced the state executive workforce by 14%. And there is a lot more room for improvement in Washington.

Kamala Harris: Racial gerrymandering harms our democracy

Statement from Vice President Kamala Harris on the Supreme Court Ruling in Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP [allowing partisan and racial gerrymandering]:

The sacred right to vote is the fundamental freedom that unlocks all others. Today's Supreme Court decision deprives Americans of that sacred freedom and further harms our democracy.

Let us be clear: Voters should choose their elected officials--not the other way around. Extremist elected officials' attempt to dilute the rights of voters based on race is wrong.

South Carolinians and people across America deserve to have their voices heard and their votes counted. President Biden and I will continue fighting to protect Americans from discrimination at the ballot box, and we once again urge Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.
