Bowen’s campaign website stated the following:

Tradition of Freedom

America was founded by people seeking religious and economic freedom. The pilgrims arrived in Plymouth Massachusetts on the ship Mayflower in 1620, fleeing religious persecution in Europe. The Jamestown Virginia settlers arrived in 1607, seeking better economic opportunity. We declared Independence on July 4, 1776, but we didn't win it until 5 years later in 1781, when the British surrendered at Yorktown Virginia. In all of these events God was the author of our Liberty. And we must continue to remember Him if we are to remain a free nation today. Indeed our national motto is "In God We Trust". May it ever be so. This is our tradition of freedom.

Traditional Values

You know what it means. It is so simple and basic. In a nutshell, boys are boys and girls are girls. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Families matter, a lot, and ideally have a Mom and a Dad, married, true, and trying. Don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, and don't kill. Integrity and honesty still matter.

Traditional Money

Traditional money means more than using the Gold and Silver coin the U.S. Constitution envisioned and requires. It also means Free Market economics; not corporate welfare, not socialism nor communism. Rather a Free Market where consumers, not government, choose the winners and losers. It also means the opportunity for all to prosper. It also means fiscal responsibility by our federal government, with balanced budgets and reducing the national debt.[4]
