Campaign themes

Matt Connolly did not complete [the profile publisher]'s 2020 Candidate Connection survey.

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

Obamacare: It must be repealed. It cannot be fixed, and the federal government should NOT be between any patient and their doctor - PERIOD.

Energy Policy: The US has the ability to become completely energy independent, and the citizens would benefit greatly – lower gas prices, cheaper electricity and heating costs. The Keystone XL Pipeline should have approved years ago.

Welfare: Human dignity is being eroded by the promotion and increased dependency on government handouts. This is no accident – it is a vote buying operation. We must reverse this trend and make work a requirement to receive benefits.

Taxes and Regulation: The US has the highest corporate tax rate in the world, yet the highest debt. Factories are leaving the country because of this and the regulatory environment that makes compliance virtually impossible.

Big Government: The intrusion of government in our lives has never been higher. The Founding Fathers were very concerned about this, yet those in power have used executive orders and appointments to circumvent the democratic process. This is perhaps the most troubling trend of all. We must take steps to expose the damage and return freedom and liberty to all Americans before it’s too late.
