Doug Collins on Government Reform

 

 


Rein in government overreach to stay competitive

Keeping our agricultural industry competitive means reining in government overreach. I advocated tirelessly to overturn the Waters of the United States Rule. I've also worked on legislation to reform the Endangered Species Act. I have advocated to the Department of Agriculture to review the use of increased line speeds in poultry processing facilities, to help the U.S. remain competitive in a global market in which some countries have outpaced our production speeds.

Check executive agencies trying to write laws

In recent years, federal bureaucracy has made over-regulation the norm. Hardworking Americans across the country suffer under the growing burden of misguided red tape. Bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. often don't know what works in the real world or understand the impacts their rules have. Congress needs to enact permanent reforms to the regulatory process to check executive agencies that have tried to write law in violation of the separation of powers laid out in the Constitution.

Increased transparency about campaign contributions

Q: Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions?

A: I do believe there is room for reform and increased transparency inside the election process, especially on the national level.
