Asa Hutchinson in Survey of 2024 Presidential campaign websites

On Budget & Economy: Repair infrastructure; don't support unnecessary spending

It is long past time for a nationally robust infrastructure package. Highways, roads, and bridges across this country are in desperate need of repair. Additionally, access to high-speed broadband--for all Americans--is imperative to our future success as a nation. Republicans on Capitol Hill support this endeavor, but they do not--nor should they--support the out-of-control and unnecessary spending promoted by national Democrats. Supporting critical infrastructure can be accomplished without abandoning our responsibility to the American taxpayers. Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website Asa2024.com May 2, 2023

On Crime: Lock up violent offenders and address unfair sentencing

In our democracy, the rule of law is foundational. The law undergirds liberty when the law is applied equally, with restraint and for the greater good. Yes, we must keep violent offenders off our streets and behind bars, but we must also address unfairness in sentencing. We can--and should--do both. And, we can make America a safer nation by providing our men and women in blue with the resources they need to enforce our laws and protect our families.

On Energy & Oil: Americans deserve plentiful, affordable energy options

Our nation is blessed with tremendous energy potential and leaders in Washington, D.C. should implement policies to unleash it. Unfortunately, the Biden-Harris administration has done the opposite by imposing a federal ban on oil and gas leases. Americans deserve plentiful, affordable energy options, and we should not be beholden to the threats and whims of foreign adversaries for our energy needs. As president, I will pursue policies to make our great nation energy independent. Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website Asa2024.com May 2, 2023

On Foreign Policy: Ask tough questions; hold China accountable for COVID-19

For too long, America has been dependent upon China for the stabilization of our economy. We can continue a trade partnership with China, but it must be one that protects American interests and promotes American ideals. China needs to answer the tough questions surrounding COVID-19 and I am prepared to ask those tough questions and hold China accountable.

On Foreign Policy: Tough on Russia which is a threat to our national security

Russia is a threat to our national security and a threat that must be taken seriously. As Undersecretary of Homeland Security, I have firsthand experience dealing with world leaders to keep America safe. We must be tough on Russia and that starts with not backing down from Putin.

On Health Care: Federal government should never be sole healthcare provider

The federal government should never be the sole provider of healthcare to Americans. If that happens, quality of care will decline. We must instead return to the power of consumer choice. These are the virtues that improve quality and lower costs. States must also be given the freedom and flexibility to innovate in order to meet the unique challenges at home. Solving the problem will require leadership that places public interest ahead of our current political divide. Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website Asa2024.com May 2, 2023

On Homeland Security: A strong national defense is the bedrock of our democracy

A strong national defense is the bedrock of our democracy. I have served at the highest levels when it comes to ensuring America remains strong in our national defense and that Americans are protected. Our men and women in uniform deserve our best and I will never stop fighting for those who selflessly serve our nation. Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website Asa2024.com May 2, 2023

On Immigration: Biden administration showing weakness along southern border

As a former Undersecretary of Homeland Security during the George W. Bush administration, I see what is happening along our southern border and recognize the severe lapse in leadership from the Biden-Harris administration. This administration is showing weakness every day, which jeopardizes the safety of our ranchers and families along the border and signals to the world that the United States is no longer interested in protecting our nation. We must send a different message--and we will! Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website Asa2024.com May 2, 2023

On Principles & Values: That rights are from God foundational to American success

Our nation's founders understood that rights are not given by man, but rather bestowed upon us by our Creator. This worldview is foundational to good governance and the success of the United States of America. The success of any democracy is dependent upon agreement on a set of values. Today, we have a nation divided and we must return to what brings us together and not what pulls us apart. That is why it is so important that we seek out leaders that bring out the best in America rather than those that give in to our worst instincts. I believe that we must respect dissent and stand together on the common ground of freedom, equality, and fairness. Source: 2024 Presidential campaign website Asa2024.com May 2, 2023

On Tax Reform: Lower taxes; reform our national tax code

Every American feels the strain of an overburdensome tax code. We must reform our tax code nationally and lower taxes just as I did in Arkansas. We need more money in the pockets of hard-working Americans and not in the coffers of a bureaucratic and unaccountable Washington, D.C.
