Abortion

Nathan Dahm - Pro LifeThe main function of government should always be to protect our rights, including the right to life. In fact, the Declaration of Independence says “that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are LIFE…” and it further clarifies that “to secure these rights, governments are instituted among Men.” The Fourteenth Amendment provides Constitutional protections in that no person shall be deprived of their life, liberty, or property without due process. I have and always will stand in support of protecting the life of the unborn.

Guns

The Second Amendment is abundantly clear that the right to keep and bear arms is a right belonging to the people that should not be infringed. As a strong advocate of expanding protections for gun owners, I have continually championed second amendment legislation at the Oklahoma State Capitol and will continue to fight for those rights on the federal level.

Economy

The American people in their ingenuity have proven time after time that they can achieve greatness when given the liberty and opportunity to try, free from government interference. The over-regulation of our society has become a huge burden on business and is an even larger barrier to the entry for new businesses. During my time in the Oklahoma State Senate I have consistently worked to repeal and eliminate unnecessary laws, rules, and regulations. I will continue that fight on the federal level to lower regulatory burdens, eliminate over-reaching laws, bring accountability to government, and fight expanding bureaucracies so Oklahoma’s people and businesses have an environment to create, expand, and thrive in.

Taxes

We don’t have a revenue problem in Washington D.C., we have a spending problem. Our national debt has grown to astronomical proportions to over $19 trillion, meaning over $60,000 in debt per citizen. History has shown that empires cannot continue to expand indefinitely while debasing their currency. As a fiscal conservative I have fought to eliminate waste in Oklahoma government and focus on sustaining core functions of government for our state. The Constitution grants limited responsibilities to the federal government and it is time we get back to those core functions and return all other responsibilities to the states where they rightly belong.

2016 & 2012

Dahm's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[27]

The Second Amendment

Excerpt: "For too long this God-given right to self-defense has been infringed upon by all levels of government. This right needs to be protected rather than infringed upon, and it should start at the state level with our Legislature doing everything in their power to guarantee this right to the People of Oklahoma."

Balanced Budget

Excerpt: "We need to make sure that our state has and maintains a balanced budget, including finances in reserve for the rainy day fund. This surplus fund should be kept only for emergencies, such as ice storms, tornados, etc. and not to finance special interest projects or any mismanaged items that should be included in the regular budgeting process."

Education Reform

Excerpt: "While an education is guaranteed in the Oklahoma State Constitution, we need to take a more balanced and free-market approach to education, rather than a one-size-fits-all government solution. More of the money allocated for education needs to go directly to classrooms, and less of it should go to bureaucrats. We should also look at consolidation, charter schools, and other efforts to put our education funds to better use. And we need to allow parents to take on their rightful roles as head of the family unit to decide what form of education is best for their children and family as a whole."

Lower Taxes

Excerpt: "We should work towards lowering and eliminating the state income tax to alleviate the people of Oklahoma from excessive taxation as we work to lower other taxes as well."

Pro Life

Excerpt: "Our federal and state governments have both been implicit in allowing the depriving of life for millions of unborn children. The life of the unborn is precious, and our state Legislature should do everything within its power to protect that life and guarantee it the equal protection of our laws."
