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

Stop Illegal Immigration and Secure Our Borders: The federal government hasn’t just failed to secure our borders under the Obama Administration, they have actively encouraged more illegal immigration by not enforcing existing laws and enacting unconstitutional policies to prevent deportation and the prosecution of illegal immigrants accused of crimes. The lack of political courage to tackle this issue is shameful for such a great nation.

Restore America’s Leadership in the World: Ronald Reagan believed in peace through strength and understood that when America’s military was capable of projecting power, the world was safer. The lack of leadership by Barack Obama has left us with a nuclear ­armed Iran, Vladimir Putin as a legitimate world leader, an expansionist China, and a much­ diminished American military.

Ensure That America’s Military Remains the Strongest in the World: It’s time we reinvest in our Armed Forces, empower our military, and send a message to terrorists and terrorist nations – when you endanger our nation, threaten our allies, and kill Americans, there will be no compromise and the consequences will be severe.

Uphold the Constitution and Protect Against Federal Over­reach and Abuses of Power: Under the Obama Administration, federal agencies have abused their powers to target citizens for political and religious beliefs, enacted regulations to strangle industries they don’t like, and shackled our citizens to inept and failing government programs that we don’t want and can’t afford.

The EPA Seeks to Inflict Control on Our Farmers, Ranchers, and Energy Producers: I’ll fight to rein in the excessive regulations that stifle American agriculture and energy production.
