The following issues were listed on Posey's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

Accountability: I’ve worked to earn the trust of the people of the Space Coast and Treasure Coast by being an example of accountability in government. When it comes to accountability, I believe that Members of Congress must lead by example.

Jobs and Economy: The need to restore a growing economy is the most important issue facing Congress right now. In fact for me it has been the most important issue since I arrived in Congress in 2009. Sadly, in 2009 and 2010, the Obama Administration and the Pelosi-Reid led Congress chose to largely ignore the economy and instead focused on passing a massive federal takeover of health care that most Americans did not want, that most now want repealed, and which most economists agree is a serious impediment to economic growth and job creation. In their 2014 report on the law, the Congressional Budget Office said the law would create incentives for Americans to work fewer hours equivalent to over 2 million jobs.

Health Care: The President’s health care law was the wrong prescription for our health care problems and I believe it should be repealed and replaced with a plan based on individual liberty and personal freedom. The Obamcare law undermines individual liberty and choice, adds trillions of dollars to the National Debt, has driven the cost of medical insurance even higher, has cut Medicare by over a half a trillion dollars, and imposed costly mandates on America’s job creators that has hampered job-creation and resulted in millions of Americans losing their health care plan. One side effect of this law is that many Americans are left with part time jobs rather than the full time jobs that they want and need.

Taxes and Spending: Ronald Reagan said it best when he said that “government doesn’t have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem.”

National Security: As your Congressman, I am committed to a strong national defense. We must ensure that our troops are the best trained, best prepared and best equipped for the battlefield. This posture of strength is our best defense. We must recognize that the world is a dangerous place and we must remain vigilant. Fulfilling our commitments to those veterans who have served is not only the right thing to do; it is key to preserving our all-volunteer force.[209]
